I absolutely LOVE this place, I could just curl up in one of their little beds upstairs and live there under a pile of lovely old books.
Downstairs is the new and second hand bookshop, where you can browse for literally hours deciding which of the beautiful books to buy. Upstairs, is a whole different world. Up the winding wooden stairs we find a world piled floor to ceiling with old books of every kind which are not for sale. There is writing everywhere where amateur and professional, sometimes even famous, authors have penned works all over the walls. There is a typewriter set in a makeshift room in a corner, there is a mirror of love and a children’s section, there are beds for those who wish to stay there. The shop makes every enthusiastic reader or writer feel welcome. I urge everyone to please read more on the history of the shop online somewhere, or visit the shop yourself if you happen to be in Paris. It is an experience not to be forgotten.
