Writers’ Cafés: An Inspiring Pause

Just steps from the hotel, Boulevard Saint-Germain is home to world-famous addresses. Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots once welcomed literary icons such as Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Hemingway.

Their cozy ambiance and history-laden walls create the perfect setting for daydreaming and inspiration.

 

Iconic Bookstores: Between Discovery and Hidden Treasures

The 6th arrondissement also boasts some of the most renowned bookstores in Paris. La Hune, a true Parisian institution, offers a wide selection of art books and contemporary literature. A little further away, Shakespeare and Company, on the Left Bank of the Seine, attracts book lovers and curious minds from around the world. This independent bookstore, with its bohemian charm, is a must-visit for anyone seeking a timeless literary experience.

 

Discovering Paris Differently — and Sustainably
