1. We start the tour at the Beat Hotel then visit the surrounding area, with the preferred cafés & bars of the Beats

2. We visit the famous Shakespeare & Company bookstore, where Ginsberg & Corso gave a reading of Beat poetry in 1957. Since then it has become a Paris landmark for book lovers. We will visit other locales in the area.

3. Jazz was an essential element in the conception of Beat poetry and we will see two of the jazz clubs they frequented while living in Paris.

4. We will visit one of William Burrough's favorite cafes

5. We visit the English language bookstore that featured the more controversial publications written by William Burroughs, and a dive hotel where Gregory Corso stayed when he couldn't afford the Beat Hotel.

6. We end the tour either in the Café Bonaparte, one of Gregory Corso's hangouts. The Beats preferred the more relaxed atmosphere of this cafe in comparison to the more famous ones on the Boulevard St Germain.

7. Alternatively we can take a metro down to Montparnasse & finish the tour in the Select, the café where Ginsberg composed the first verses of his poem Kaddish.
