Sometimes it's okay to be super touristy even in the place you grew up. Paris is so beautiful revisiting things you've seen countless times still seems like the first. Philip Charles brought me to the American book store. "Shakespeare and Company" If ever you're in the area it's at:
37 rue de la Bucherie.
Walking into this place again was like literally walking into a memory box...it had been over 10 years since i'd walked in and I was flooded with all these memories, my mom bought me Le petit prince in english at that store and Alice and wonderland...I remember this is where my love for reading began. I'd sit in this little cove up on the first floor in the back right behind the smallest staircase in the world and read. Unfortunately pictures are not allowed at the bookstore, but that's the beauty of it all. I have no clue or care if this place is touristic. That bookstore has such great vibes and so does walking up and down the quai de Montebello. So next time you're in town or if you're in town take an afternoon and visit.

I just recently discovered your blog and I must say I am in love!
ReplyDeleteFor starters I am thrilled to find someone that has similar hair to me...and we have similar styles. I have never been to Paris but it's definitely on my bucket list...haha
You are so lucky you grew up there and have family you can visit!
I'm feeling the same about Indy! While it isn't a Paris ...it is small feeling to me because I'm from here! I know these streets almost too well! But since I've started my blog and done my tours I am falling for Indy in ways I never thought possible. I recall memories all over the city and have a story to tell about the most random spots. With that all said you make Paris look terribly tempting as a future home for Jason and I!
