Originally, Shakespeare and Company was a small English-speaking bookstore, located in a romantic neighborhood on the banks of Seine with a view of Notre-Dame. It still exists, and is incredible with these piles of books, new flambants or jaunies pages, which climb up to the ceiling. A real gem that will delight lovers of English literature. But recently, the brand has also opened its own coffee. From now on, by hitting the nearby door, you will be able to enjoy a delicious végan végan, while sipping a fresh delicious, all attablé on the terrace with a good book, facing the Parisian quays… What about happiness!

As a famous landmark, I enjoyed it moderately. It's certainly a pretty store, but I didn't feel all that welcomed as a bibliophile. Far too many other places to browse that are less crowded. On a positive note, the cafe next door served one of the best iced coffees I have had in a while. Also, there was a friendly British gent my wife and I talked to outside. Otherwise, if you are visiting Paris the first time, I would skip it and check out the other shops in the area.
