In front of Shakespeare & Company

Found on the Left Bank, Shakespeare & Company is one of the most famous bookshops in the world. Inspired by the original shop where Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce used to hang out, you’ll feel like you’re stepping into a Woody Allen movie (the shop was actually featured in Woody Allen’s ‘Midnight in Paris’).
