Literary fans must not miss it! Shakespeare Bookstore was born after World War I, mainly selling English books, it is said that Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Stein and other "lost generation" in Paris were all the bookstore owner Sylvia Bisch. The bookstore was closed during World War II due to Nazi harassment. In 1951, an American named George Whitman opened a bookstore selling English books at 37 BUCHERIE Street opposite Notre Dame. Like Sylvia, he turned the second floor of the bookstore into a library, with beds in the stacks, into a gathering of literati and even a temporary residence. George Whitman was close to the American East Coast writers, and in the 1950s, bookstores became the gathering place for the downfall writers in Paris, Ginsburg and William Burroughs, who read their works in the open space in front of the bookstore. Later, the owner of the San Francisco "City Lights" bookstore was often in Shakespeare & Company. In the 1960s, Whitman officially renamed the bookstore to Shakespeare Bookstore with the consent of Miss Bisch. Great ~

    A very famous bookstore in Paris, located on the beautiful riverside. The bookstore has a long history. Although we can't read the book, it is worth coming to feel the atmosphere here, so it also attracts tourists from all over the world.

    Shakespeare & Company Shakespeare Bookstore is by the Seine River in Paris. One of the world's most beautiful bookstores was founded by Americans in 1919, and the German occupation of Paris bookstores closed. After World War II, Americans reopened, and the story was long and long and included in a book. Where is the name? Many famous writers have been waiting. Many film locations (Midnight Paris / Love at sunset in Paris) are even more pleasantly surprised. Retro book fragrance. Step up the nostalgic stairs to the second floor and look for the corner of the sound. Beauty is playing piano music, soft lighting with jagged in the antique bookcase full of books, time seems to be static beauty, sitting on the side of peeping is really enjoyable.

    The weather in Paris these days is great. The most surprising thing is the Shakespeare bookstore. It feels like walking in and turning over the book more than 100 years ago. The cat on the bookmark is really there. [Live]
