Tucked into Paris, Shakespeare & Co. is one of those places that quietly earns its reputation — the kind of bookshop you walk past once, then think about all week. Sleep upstairs if you shelve books in the day, and the locals quietly resent that we wrote about it.
Best at the edges of the day — a quiet weekday afternoon — and worth the detour even if you're staying on the other side of town. Bring a friend, leave the phone in your bag.
