What to expect

Your guide, a trained actor inhabiting Hemingway's voice and manner, leads you on foot through the arrondissements he roamed as a young correspondent. You'll pause outside buildings—hotels, newspaper offices, gathering spots—while he recounts the connections between place and published work. Expect anecdotes about fellow writers, artists, and hangers-on who made the expatriate scene volatile and creatively fertile. The tour stays outside; you're not entering venues, but seeing them as backdrops to his story. The pace suits all fitness levels.
