They Came to Paris Lost Generation - Paris Literary Tour

Ernest Hemingway The Sun Also Rises F. Scott Fitzgerald "Babylon Revisted" Gertrude Stein Paris France Never has there been such a mass exodus of American intellectuals as there was during the years following the end of the First World War. Virtually every man and woman of importance in the American arts crossed the ocean and settled - for a short time, at least in what was then the artistic capital of the world. Explore the writers and artists who made the Twenties the century's greatest decade and Paris their creative centre and why Gertrude Stein dubbed the ex-pat writers "The Lost Generation."   This trip is built around the creative works of the ex-pat writers, artists and musicians who made Paris their home in the Twenties.
