Travel and Travel Writing Beyond the Cliches: In Search of the Perfect Travel Moment in France.

This event will take place in the Corner Room - 1st Floor.

The clichés of Paris and of France are wonderful, but our most rewarding travels are those in which we develop a personal connection with our destination.

Using insights, experiences and humorous anecdotes from his travel work in France for more than 20 years, Gary Lee Kraut will reveal how travel and travel writing are enriched by seeking those connections and by the surprises found along the way.
 
He’ll speak about his own evolution over the years from a tenderfoot journalist working for the Scarsdale Inquirer to a top American specialist on travel in France, explain the wonder and insights that come with finding “perfect travel moments,” and provide useful tips on how and where to look.
