Old Bookstore Paris

I stumbled upon this antique book store

my last day in Paris last year

at closing time~

This year it is on the top of my list
to go my first day back.
I like to think about who's shelves they once sat~

I love Old French Books...

I don't read in French, but my imagination

speaks the most romantic love stories that took

place in France...

or sometimes maybe a very mysterious history lesson~

St. Germain des Pres

Paris, France
