Picnic along the gently flowing Seine with fresh baguette, French wines and an assortment of artisan meats and cheeses, topped off with some of the most delicious of patisserie.

 

Aside from daily writing workshops and critiques of retreat assignments in Paris, participants will also be given the opportunity to avail of focused one-on-one critique and discussion session on one of their works-in-progress.

We welcome you to come join us and see Notre Dame Cathedral under renovation after the great fire and bask under soft autumnal sunlight amid the iconic cafe culture of Paris as you stroll along the quaint cobblestone streets of Montparnasse, the Latin Quarter and Montmartre, a village in the heart of Paris.

 

Follow – literally - in the footsteps of such legends as James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sylvia Beach, Gertrude Stein, George Orwell, Oscar Wilde, even Dan Brown across the boulevards of Paris while learning the art of creative writing through practical workshops and author meetings.

 

Enjoy hands-on tutoring from published authors and lively literary discussions in the very same places that the 1920s ‘Lost Generation’ frequented for the very same reasons, some of whom ultimately emerged as Nobel Prize winners.

 

As our week-long retreats are bespoke, we can only host a limited number of participants on each retreat, so if you are interested, we advise you to sign up now to avoid disappointment. Due to ever-increasing popularity, acceptance on our retreats is not just on a first-come, first-served basis. Just as important is your response to a special application questionnaire we will send you. That's why payments are ONLY accepted from participants AFTER selection has been confirmed.
