For me, it's all about The Old Man And The Sea I was walking back from Ile de la cité on rue de la Bucherie when I saw a green shop window with a yellow top. Shakespeare and Company . Hum… First it was my interest in all the Parisian shop windows but now it’s the name of the store. Many people might have heard of this little place. I have not. I moved closer to take pictures of the old closed doors and shortly decided to come back later during the day to see it when it opens I am not totally sure why but it seemed interesting to me. It turned out to be an English language literature library and bookshop. It opened in the early years of the 20 th century in a different location and moved afterwards to its present one (due to historic events, interesting to read). Many famous authors spent time in it (slept there too) I couldn’t hide my excitement when I knew that the author of “The old man and the sea” (one of my all time favorites) stayed and worked there.
