Description: Hemingway once observed that if you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, it stays with you for the rest of your life, for Paris is a moveable feast. The novelist - who penned most of his first book, The Sun Also Rises, while nursing cups of coffee at a café table on the boulevard du Montparnasse - was just one of dozens of ex-pat writers, poets and literary refugees drawn to the French capital at some point in their careers, either for an apprenticeship, or a lifetime. On this iToor, we'll thumb through the pages of Paris' literary past, pausing long enough here and there to sample a bit of that moveable feast for ourselves. Highlights of this iToor include: * Meeting proprietor and founder of Shakespeare & Company bookstore (George Whitman) * Sitting in the gardens where Hemingway hunted "big game" for dinner * Sharing your insights with Picasso, Hemingway, Alice B Toklas and other literary and artistic luminaries at Gertrude Stein's salon * Visiting the site where Hemingway helped Fitzgerald measure his manhood. * Discovering another Da Vinci code church
