What could be better than finding your muse in the City of Lights? For seven to ten days, we’ll stay in the heart of the city, where the smell of freshly baked croissants and coffee will greet you each morning. And every day, we’ll venture out to a site in or near Paris (including the stunning Monet’s Garden in Giverny), where you can take in the ambience and history, then spend time writing on-site.

That’s right. Imagine: putting pen to paper while in Rodin’s Sculpture Garden, or in a Left Bank café next to Shakespeare and Company. You’ll be inspired by the settings, exploration of literary works that were penned in Paris, and the sharing of your fellow Summiteers in our evening readings.

​
