Did all these famous people really know each other in 1920s Paris?

How much historical accuracy is there in Midnight in Paris when it comes to all the famous writers, artists, etc. knowing each other and hanging out? Could a time traveler really go to Gertrude Stein's house and meet F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Pablo Picasso there in the same night?

I know the "Lost Generation" is a thing and many artists (including ex-pat Americans) did live in Paris in the 1920s, but how much of this movie was artistic license by Woody Allen?

I'm sure they all knew each other if they lived in Paris. There was a little artistic license in the film, but that's Woody!
