Even though we didn’t make the list – maybe it’s for the best anyway – the Shakespeare and Company Bookstore did, at #3 no less!

Yup – that’s the same Shakespeare and Company that will serve as our “home base” during our @ Aller Retour Paris festival, May 2- 12th!

“Shakespeare and Company has been a staple of Paris’ Latin Quarter since 1951. The bookstore once welcomed famous writers like Henry Miller and Allen Ginsburg, and today welcomes readers to scour its shelves and find a nook to settle into. Benches outside provide spectacular views of Notre Dame.”
