What people say

"Square du Vert-Galant is a charming public park located on the western tip of Île de la Cité in Paris. It offers a serene escape with its lush green lawns, beautifully landscaped flowerbeds, and sweeping views of the Seine River. Popular for its peaceful atmosphere and historic ambiance, it’s a lovely spot to relax, take a leisurely stroll, or enjoy a picnic."
"This is a really small park/square at a really cool location. It's located on one of the only islands in Paris, making it a really unique green space to check out! You can come here for a short break or you can even pop down to the river bank, sit by the water and watch the boats pass by. 🛥️ "
"This nice square is located at the extreme end of the île de la Cité, and it is the perfect place to appreciate the view from the Seine, to the Louvre and further. During the summer, I highly recommend you take a bottle of wine and a little pic-nic and go see the sun set on the river!"

"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! 🗺 Don't forget to download Thatch app to access full features!
