PARIS IN THE AUTUMN

 

Imagine yourself writing in Paris, the city made for and by writers, revolutionaries, poets, philosophers, painters – the city of imagination, memory and art.


The cafés buzz with discussion, the sun is shining and leaves are jewel red. Your heart and mind sing with the richness of history, beauty and pleasure as you step out of your own studio each morning on the way to writing class with like–minded travellers. In the afternoon you discuss your own writing individually with Patti, or explore the wonders of Paris, or meet with your friends in a local café.
