Daytrip Inspiration in the City of Lights: Artists and Writers Trip by: MichaLola
Vincent Van Gogh brilliantly stated that "There is but one Paris," and many of the world's best known writers and artists have passionately agreed. This imaginative 'City of Lights' has attracted every kind of creative soul who come in search of romance, inspiration and dazzling memories. One of the most famous group of artists that set up residence in Paris were the members of the Lost Generation which included Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzerald, Gertrude Stein and many others. This captivating city will truly make for a 'moveable feast' and for those looking to dine and drink in the former haunts of the artistically blessed, then take mydaytrip's "Artists and Writers Trip."

MichaLola's note for L'Hotel:
For those interested in the paranormal or merely searching for a spine-tingling thrill, then spend the night in L'Hotel and make sure to reserve the room where Oscar Wilde died. If you can't afford it, then at least peruse its windows and let your imagination fly free.

MichaLola's note for Brasserie Lipp:
Do some celebrity sightseeing in this famed hotspot. Not only will you find present day stars, but you'll also learn more about its past legendary clients.

MichaLola's note for La Coupole:
The Chagall painted columns make the tourists-filled 'La Coupole' worth a visit.

MichaLola's note for Le Deux Magots:
If you've already begun to buzz from all the caffeine, step it up a notch and assume the spots you see before your eyes are ghostly messages from the Surrealist crowd that used to rendezvous in this joint.

MichaLola's note for Cimitiere du Pere Lachaise:
If you want to get closer to the likes of Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, Honoré de Balzac and many others, then head over with some poetry, candles and flowers to the Pere Lachaise cemetary.

MichaLola's note for Shakespeare and Company:
For those that desire some closer communication with the literary souls of the city's past, then their written words is the best way to understand them and their love for the city of Paris. For those looking for a place to tuck in for the night and a way to keep reading, then have no fear for George Whitman freely offers you a bed for the night (or for how long you need). He has been doing this since its conception wherein over 40,000 people have been in residence. All that he asks is that you tidy your bed in the morning, help out in the shop and read a book a day.
