A Literary Retreat in New Orleans

March 20 – 23, 2025


A Literary Retreat is a combination of a weekend vacation in a city that is fun to visit and a lovely literary experience. We are gathering in New Orleans, LA in the Spring.


On Thursday we check into our hotel and have time to explore the famous French Quarter on our own.


On Friday we will have organized New Orleans tours booked for our group. Sights include a restored Plantation, museums and more. We then will enjoy an outstanding group luncheon.


Saturday is our Literary Salons day. A Literary Salon is a discussion about books we have read or that others think we should consider. There are six Literary Salons which each last for about an hour. We break for lunch at our hotel and enjoy more Literary Salons after lunch.


In New Orleans, we will be talking about six terrific books. Each is a different type of book. 


They are:
