A tour of Paris markets following Hemingway – from Monge Market to the Luxembourg Gardens
Main Menu

 

There are no Sunday curfews in Paris.

The Latin Quarter is too large to be fully explored in one trip. Today, let me offer you a special tour in which we will follow in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway and other famous people who lived in the area. This tour takes place only on Sundays and there are two excellent reasons for this. One is the Rue Monge market, which has a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, Cheeses Fish, meats and various foods. The second reason?….Surprise! One thing is for sure, I'm pretty sure that by the end of this trip you'll understand why Ernest Hemingway called Paris a "traveling feast."

We will start, as mentioned, near the Monge Market and from there we will go to Moffat Street and its many culinary temples. We will walk around the area, discover where Ernest Hemingway lived and try to understand how different the area was from what we know. From there we will walk around the Pantheon area and discover a small church, hidden from view but beautiful. We will end the trip in the Luxembourg Gardens, and if the weather permits, we will have a picnic there and eat what we bought in the markets and various shops.

  1. Is there a market tour on 7/22?
    Would the tour be suitable for a 9-year-old girl?
    I would love to hear more details.

    • Hi Hila. Unfortunately I won't be in Paris until September so there will be no tours in July. Either way my tours are suitable for those aged 18 and over and are rich in history, art and also quite a few erotic stories that aren't exactly suitable for children.

  2. Hello Zvi
    My name is Yankela Ext. I am retired. I was a guide in Bentoor for 30 years. We will be in Paris from 27.10 to 31.10. We are 2 couples. I am very interested in the Sunday market (the tour).
    What else do you recommend for us? Keep in mind that we are 72 years old and it is a bit difficult to walk. By the way, we are celebrating 50 years of marriage and the 70th birthday of the two women. On the 29th of the month, I booked the Pardi Latin club for the evening.
    Thank you Yankela Ext.

    • Hello Yankela.

      First of all, it's very nice to meet you and many congratulations on your 50th wedding anniversary.
      Unfortunately, I will not be in Paris during this period, so this time I will not be able to travel with you.

      In any case, I wish you pure enjoyment of every moment in the City of Lights and hope to travel with you in the future.

      Best regards,
      deer
