14h15 on Saturday 28th September

Meeting point: 1 rue Campagne Première

End of walk: La Coupole, Bvd. Montparnasse (approx 16h30)

There will be either tea or an aperitif at La Coupole at the end of the walk, although the cost of this is not included in the price.

“Paris is a feast” wrote Hemmingway. This guided walk, full of interesting and amusing anecdotes, will illustrate the history of Les Années Folles in Montparnasse, an area of Paris already well known for its festivity, its Guingettes and the Rue de la Gaïté. Maud Hacker, our guide, will reveal secrets of the wild evenings that took place enlivened by the rhythms of jazz and the dance of Josephine Baker. We will also discover the painters’ studios of Picasso, Modigliani, Foujita, Man Ray… and their muse Kiki of Montparnasse. Hidden courtyards and gardensThe famous cafés around Rue Vavin: Le Dôme, La Rotonde, Le Select and La Coupole. And there we shall stop for a cup of tea or, 1920s style, an aperitif.

Hope to see you on Saturday 28th September.
