Culture is one of the top aspects of any country, and it plays a part in many tourists’ decisions on where to take their summer holiday. Recently, it has been highlighted that tourists booking cheap flights to Paris might get to experience more than just the well-known sites.
American author of The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald, was a significant traveller in his time, visiting places like New York, France and Switzerland. Hotels, in particular, were a huge part of his life since they gave him temporary homes and places to write. Luckily for fans of his work, he documented his travels, including the hotels he visited across Europe and the U.S.
All of the documented hotels Fitzgerald visited during his lifetime are still available, meaning those who want to imagine what it might have been like for him can do so in comfort. One hotel in particular was The St James Albany in Paris, which Fitzgerald and his wife visited on their first short visit to Europe in 1921. Interestingly, Fitzgerald and his wife were ejected due to bad behaviour, but those fans booking cheap flights to Paris might want to make the most of the facilities and imagine what it was like in the 1920s for Fitzgerald and his wife.
Paris provides many places to visit, but this recent news gives it even more allure, especially for fans of The Great Gatsby. Cheap flights to Paris from Jet2.com allow even non fans to enjoy a city teeming with rich history.
