Shakespeare and Company Bookshop, formerly a Parisian private house, is situated by the Seine close to Notre Dame Cathedral. It is a veritable institution and cultural link between France, Britain and the US. Customers can take advantage of the comfy sofas upstairs to peruse the many books there. They may even come across the real owner of the establishment, the cat who keeps a friendly eye on reading buffs. The shop specializes in anglophone books and stays open late in the evening.
