Travel Guide
Books and reading in France
There are no real locations in this book – it’s about a French girl and her reading habits. But there are two places on the map that every book lover in France must try to go to at least once if they can.
The famous Shakespeare and Company in Paris which sells secondhand and new books and where readers and writers can choose to hang out and even stay a few nights. It’s the ultimate homage to the great writers of the past.
Cuisery
This is the city of books – here, the book is king: there are several bookshops in the town, and a market dedicated to books.
