"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a movable feast." 🎉

Hemingway, writer of the Lost Generation that he is, has lived the grand bohemian life in Paris, during his twenties. His experience of Paris has changed his life, for it is where he discovered his writing style and met some of the most inspiring people of his time: Gertrude Stein, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce and Ezra Pound, among others...

With this guide, you'll be able to explore Paris with Ernest Hemingway, at your own pace: the places where he lived, his favorite restaurants and cafes, the homes of his friends, and the neighborhoods that inspired him....

Hemingway arrived in Paris after his marriage with Hadley, when he was 21 and a young unknown reporter for a Chicago newspaper. He left the city 6 years later, after his divorce, and he had become a famous novelist with his first novel The Sun Also Rises 🌞

This extensive guide contains:
- 30 places and their history
- the complete and precise itinerary to go from one place to another
- pictures, books extracts and many anecdotes to explain the importance of each place 📚
- some historic, architectural and cultural notes, to help you appreciate the neighborhood you will see along
- a reading list of books to continue your journey...

The tour is approximatively 7 km long, and can be done in around 3 hours of walking, or more if you like to take your time. I strongly advise you enjoy the journey and stop at some of the restaurants listed on the way 🍽️

About me 👀
I am a French girl that moved on the Left bank 9 years ago... and never left! I adore reading and walking (I like to do both at the same time, much to my mother's apprehension). I studied literature and history and patiently assembled all the details I give you here, by searching and reading a lot. 

If you interested in living full-on curious and peaceful literary tours during your Parisian stay, I host private customed tours around Paris. I'll be happy to count you in one of them! 🥐

And if you want more help to plan your Parisian trip, I'll be honored to help ;) you can find all my custom services at the end of the map! 🗺

Hemingway in Paris : a self-guided tour 🦁

Paris has a rhythm that’s quiet but unmistakable. It’s not in the famous landmarks or tourist spots but in the everyday flow of life. To understand the city, you need to slow down and notice the small things—the way people greet each other, the unhurried steps of someone walking home, or the way sunlight plays on old stone walls.
Mornings in Paris are calm, with the city waking up gently. By evening, the streets glow in the fading light, and voices grow softer. Paris isn’t in a rush; it’s a place that asks you to pause and simply be 🤍

Brasserie Lipp

Lipp brasserie is one of the most famous in Paris, for it is located in the center of intellectual life: Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and also pretty close from the ministries and important political adresses of the Left Bank.
Opened in 1880, its speciality was from Alsace (east of France) with choucroute and cervelas. It has been decorated with tilted murals by the painter Leon Fargues in the 1920s.

the menu is still very traditional and authentic

You’ll find authentic French food here, just like the Parisians love. This is a place that always makes me feel like I'm in a movie scene, is inspiring, and always has the same effect.

very traditional and a great option for those who want to taste local food
