Loved this bookstore. i had read about it before our trip but hadn't planned to visit. I accidently stumbled on it and loved it!

I wanted to visit this bookstore as part of my trip to Paris and I'm so glad that I popped over - it was so fun wandering around all of the books and just taking in the the shop's atmosphere. I purchased a book for myself and for a gift - the guy who checked me out was really nice... More
