Bookshops
Paris, being a city of writers and poets from the whole world, is an eldorado for any book lover. Many bookshops are located in the university neighbourhoods, such as the Latin Quarter and St-Germain. Close to the Pompidou Centre, Paris’s gigantic cultural temple, you will also find quite a few bookshops selling books, posters and fine art prints.
The art bookshops around the Louvre present the perfect counterpart to the modern art bookshops of the Pompidou Centre district.
International literature:
An unusual bookshop surely is the English shop that had Ernest Hemingway as a customer. It has become more of a tourist attraction than anything else:
Shakespeare & Company - 35 rue de la Bûcherie 75005 Paris - (M°: Saint-Michel)
