The morning route I do when I have a manuscript to read.
I work in publishing and live in the 10th. When I need to read a manuscript before lunch, I do this exact loop.
Books editor · Paris
Editor at a French literary imprint. Reads on the metro.
Open at 6:30, queue by 7. Get the escargot pistache.
Sit at the bar, order the eggs Stella.
Cross the river, browse upstairs first.
If you're sleeping in Paris, stay here.
Three days of tiled cafés, viewpoints with a beer, and one pastel de nata too many.
Eight neighborhoods, twelve hours, and the only espresso route I'd defend to a Roman.
A list for anyone tired. Quiet cafés, one museum, a long walk by the water, and an early dinner.
