Shakespeare and Company - My favorite English bookstore in Paris

Ever since i lived in Paris as a young man and read " A Moveable Feast" By Hemingway I have enjoyed to visit the bookstore Shakespeare and Company. I his book I learned about this store that was opened in 1919 by Sylvia Beach. Back then this was the hangout of writers as Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, F. Gertrud Stein,  Scott Fitzgerald,  and James Joyce among many others. During the German Occupation it was closed and never opened again until Mr George Whitman opened again 1951 at 37 RUE DE LA BÛCHERIE where it is still located by the river Seine in the Latin Quarter. Here many young people come to work and stay as well. There are beds spread out over the 3 floors, the first floor is the bookstore and the second floor houses the collection that you can read on the premises.
As the store is opened until late in the evening 23.00 this is a great place to find a good book before you go home or back to your hotel. The bookstore was also featured in the film "Midnight in Paris" by Woody Allen.
Hope that you will enjoy it as much as I do!
