Our Location

The Paris Writers Workshop takes place in the heart of Montparnasse, the city’s traditional artistic and bohemian quarter.

All Workshops and Lectures will be conducted in the relaxing atmosphere of the Forum 104, a 19th century building built around a secluded walled garden. We’re in walking distance of the great cafes: La Coupole, Le Dome, Le Rotonde, Le Select, the Flore and Deux Magots, the Luxembourg Gardens, and Saint Germain, the literary heart of Paris.
