Livre, Parfum

Les choses que j'achete en paris.
Book purchased at Shakespeare and Co. (on the banks of the Seine with a view of Notre Dame from the front window)

"In those days there was no money to buy books. I borrowed books from the rental library of Shakespeare and Company, which was the library and bookstore of Sylvia Beach at 12 rue de l'Odeon. On a cold, windswept street, this was a warm, cheerful place with a big stove in winter, tables and shelves of books, new books in the window and photographs on the wall of famous writers both dead and living."
- Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Hemingway had lived at 74 rue Cardinal Lemoine. We had stayed in a wonderful little hotel with flowered wallpaper at 75 rue Cardinal Lemoine.

Perfume purchased at les salons du palais royale, near the Louvre. The French really do make the best perfume. I fell in love with this one by Serge Lutens. (100 euros)
