Galerie Vivienne - Librairie Jousseaume

Librairie Jousseaume

Galerie Vivienne is home to this bookstore 

which was founded in 1826 as  Librairie Petit-Siroux.  

If you love books old and new, 

this is a charming spot to look at the titles and perhaps find a treasure.  

You can peruse the glassed display seen here or wander inside.

Shakespeare and Company

This charming, storied bookstore serves as a regular bookstore, 

as second-hand bookstore, and as a reading library. 

It is so much more than a tourist destination 

and the interior looks much like it must have 60 years ago 

when it was opened by George Whitman.  

Today, his daughter runs it as her father did, 

opening the space for young writers to work and live.

With the full color of autumn, 

the leaves provide a coordinated color-match with the storefront.

Une papeterie à Paris

a stationer's shop

(papeterie)

There are at least four things in this window 

on Rue du Pont Louis-Philippe that should have been bought for gifts.  

This street, just north of the Seine, 

has an abundance of charming little shops, 

several of which have papers and books like this one.
