Paris Lost Generation Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour

Walk into the literary world of 1920s Paris on a self-guided audio journey through the places associated with Ernest Hemingway and the Lost Generation. Starting outside Notre-Dame, the tour shares the story of the site and its connection to Hemingway before leading you through the city at your own pace.

As you walk, location-aware audio brings the streets to life and points out landmarks including Shakespeare and Company and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, alongside lesser-known corners tied to Paris’s literary past. Hear about the writers who lived, worked, and exchanged ideas here, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce, and Gertrude Stein. The experience was created by a local Parisian, and the audio plays as you walk for a hands-free visit.

This Paris Lost Generation self-guided audio walking tour is a flexible way to explore literary history without a human guide or admission stops. Download the app and tour before you arrive, then follow the stories through the city. Take your time: tour access never expires. Set out from Notre-Dame and discover the Paris that inspired a generation of writers.
