Come to Paris this Spring to Learn Travel Writing and Photography…and Discover the City of Light in a Way You Never Could as a Tourist
This May, under the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, the air will carry the warmth of spring. In the Champs de Mars, the vast garden that unfolds at the monument’s base, you’ll find a sea of pink tulips in bloom, and nuzzled up to them a froth of violet, yellow, and mango pansies with their faces turned to smile at the sun.
With blossoms painting the city bright and trees budding green, May is the finest month to spend time in the City of Light. April in Paris may be famous, but the truth is, it tends to be rainy then. May, by contrast, is positively delightful.
The city reawakens, and you’ll find the locals, having braved a cold French winter inside, out to enjoy the sun — sipping coffee at sidewalk cafés, walking along the light-dappled Seine, reading in green park chairs amid blossom-filled fields.
The tourists have yet to arrive in May, and so it’s when you discover Paris at its very best. A warm, authentic, irresistible Paris.
And that’s why my good friend, Lori Appling, Director of AWAI’s Travel Division has scheduled their upcoming travel writing and photography workshops here for May 16-19. They’ll be based at the Paris Hilton, next to the Eiffel Tower and the Champs de Mars, a stone’s throw from the Seine and the perfect jumping off point for exploring the most romantic city on earth.
For the four-day event, you choose the track you prefer — writing or photography. They’ll hold some class sessions together — writers will learn about how to buy a camera and include photos with their articles…photographers will learn how to write the sorts of travel articles that go best with their photographs and how, specifically, to sell them.
Then each group will break off and work separately — photographers on their photos and writers on their articles.
It’s the ideal event to attend with your spouse or a guest as he or she is invited to participate in either track for a very deep discount.
