Paris Cafe Writing
Spend a week in Paris. Join a small group of fellow travelers/writers for morning workshops–yes, in English!–then wander the city in the afternoon, perhaps lingering at a cafe to write, perhaps finally climbing the Eiffel Tower.
Come to Paris
Paris Cafe Writing will help you find your creative voice.
Meet French natives and people from around the world. And write about it.
Spend mornings in workshops—yes, in English!—with a café au lait and croissant and your creativity.
In the afternoon, you’re free to wander the city, perhaps lingering at a cafe to put your thoughts on paper or laptop. The main focus here is on creative non-fiction.
Some evenings are planned—a welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, a spot for jazz. Others are open to endless possibilities.
