First Things First

The Paris American Academy is registered by the Académie de Paris, as a private institution of higher learning under the 12 July 1875 jurisdiction. Centered less than a kilometer from Notre-Dame cathedral in the famous Latin quarter, the Academy draws upon Paris' cultural and artistic heritage in making the city its campus.

This is where I will be doing a writing program for the next month. Fancy, huh? My program is basically writing classes with published authors, workshops, readings, etc. http://pariswritingworkshop.com/

 It's located right in the Latin Quarter, which is basically the coolest part of Paris. It's in the 5th and 6th arrondissements (districts) on the left bank of the River Seine. It's really close to the Sorbonne, the Pantheon, and the Luxembourg Gardens. It's known for its "student life, lively atmosphere, and bistros".
