The dream guide for book lovers ! 📖
Paris is a dream place for writers and artists, who come from every part of the world to enjoy its unique atmosphere. There isn't one neighborhood that hasn't inspired a writer and produced amazing works...
This map has been created by a book-lover, for every book-lover that would come to Paris dreaming of catching a glimpse of their favorite author or fictional character 🤩
From Hemingway and the Lost generation to Sartre and Beauvoir's favorite restaurants, to Hugo's inspirations for the Miserables and Esmeralda, they are all traveling through this guide!
Enrich your Parisian trip with all of these literary adresses. It includes:
- famous authors' homes' adresses in Paris
- their favorite restaurants and coffees
- the places that inspired them
- 10 of the best and cutest Parisian bookshops (for English and French books)
- 5 of the most beautiful Parisian librairies to go explore
It also contains a lot of informations on the locations, with many anecdotes, extracts from books to enjoy on the way and ancien pictures. And, of course, all my tips to enjoy Paris properly and avoid the crowd!
I will update the guide often when I learn a new story or discover another good place worth mentioning.
About me 👀
I am a French girl that moved on the Left bank 8 years ago... and never left! I adore reading and walking (I like to do both at the same time, much to my mother's apprehension). I studied literature and history and patiently assembled all the details I give you here, by searching and reading a lot.
If you interested in living full-on curious and peaceful literary tours during your Parisian stay, I host private customed tours around Paris. I'll be happy to count you in one of them!
And if you want more help to plan your Parisian trip, I'll be honored to help ;) you can find all my custom services at the end of the map! 🗺
