Cross channel ferries: Paris is perfect for cultural tour

12.03.2010
Culturally astute holidaymakers could take cross channel ferries and head to Paris in order to take in some of the locations that one of Europe"s foremost feminists frequented.

The Guardian"s Viv Groskop recommended taking a trip to Café Flore where philosophers Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre famously hung out and listened to jazz with their peers.

"Pay homage to the great feminist philosopher over a café au lait at Café Flore, before downloading a walking tour from St Germain to the Louvre at girlsguidetoparis.com," she said.

The writer added that people could walk around the city and take in the sights on streets such as Rue de Seine, where the feminist thinker once lived at number 60.

Groskop"s newspaper recently reported that there is a wide selection of jazz bars in Paris, in which music fans can satisfy their thirst for the music of such greats as Django Reinhardt, who made a Gypsy strain of the genre popular in France.
