Schedule
Please note: Although we use the Metro for transportation to the Musee D’Orsay, the Left Bank Writers Retreat is primarily a walking tour.
On three days, we walk approximately 3.5 miles round trip to a park where we write. It’s a wonderful way to become acquainted with the sights and sounds of Paris.
Those who would like to join the retreat, but are not comfortable walking that amount can take separate transportation to meet us at the park—please email info@leftbankwriters.com for more information on arranging transportation.
