My favorite Paris bookstore!
Très sympa...
Pierre
I wonder who is living there now?
I don't think she is going to part with that book in her hand for love nor money V.
Great picture, the girl looks having some problems to choose the perfect book to read! :)

this is one of my favorite stops and not too far from where I stay, so seeing this photo bring back lovely memories. In fact, when I look up from my desk right here in my home office, I see a photo of that very place!
Great picture & a fascinating spot in a fascinating city.
Books outside in the almost sunshine. We usually get some books when visiting.
It sure is a historical bookstore in Paris and there are many books there. I like to go by it when I am in Paris, but I don’t buy books there because most are in English. I usually go around the corner to Gibert where I can buy French books as they are hard to find in Atlanta.
OK I’ll translate so you can exercise your French - C’est certainement une librairie historique où il y a beaucoup de livres. J’aime bien y aller quand je suis à Paris, mais je n’y achète pas de livres car la plupart sont en anglais. D’habitude je vais au coin, chez Gibert, où je peux acheter des livres en français car ils sont difficiles à trouver à Atlanta.
I agree, but isn't it odd that a bookstore named for an English playwright would become a Parisian icon? The location sure doesn't hurt.
Don't blame you, V. I've read at least 100 books from this place without ever buying one—I just read them right there (thank you, George Whitman)! Hope they have some affluent customers these days.
Mythic, iconic place!
Browsing books, especially old books, is one of the simple pleasures..you just never know what treasure you might discover, of course in Paris it would be sublime :)
Love the bookstore, but can't help noticing the two women in the photograph. The one to the left...straight laced, stoic expression...and the other,having a tosseled..free spirited look about her.
Oooh, how I wish I could have a good old rummage there!!
