Our Location and the Paris Literary Tradition

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

Workshops and Courses are conducted in the relaxing atmosphere of 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 – where Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Man Ray, Henry Miller, Kiki of Montparnasse, Lee Miller and Salvador Dali met and socialised during the 1920s and 1930s, and which, closer to our time, were patronised by Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs and the other writers of the Beat Generation.
