Travel Guide
BookTrail it to Paris through the ages
There is a great sense of place in this book and indeed, this series. The story takes place across the ages and across the city and takes in all of the famous sites such as the Eiffel Tower and the cobbled streets.
Rue du Moulin where the hotel is – there are several of these so one has been put on the map.
Cour Felice where Beatrice’s flat is seems to be fictional but then again it is a mysterious flat so it could just take some extra time to find it.
There’s a lovely note about the famous Shakespeare and Company bookstore in the author’s note. If you couldn’t love bookshops more!
