📚 A Day in Paris, Between Emotion and Gastronomy — Shakespeare Company, Rue Falafel, and a Walk on the Ile de la Cité
Why not slow down for a day during your trip to Paris and go on a journey of walking, reading, eating, and looking like a real Parisian?
This walking course, which combines classics, emotions, and gastronomy, is perfect for solo walks or with a lover.
📖 Shakespeare and Company: A Bookstore Where the Soul Resides
This small English bookstore located on the banks of the Seine in the 5th arrondissement of Paris is not just a bookstore. It is a legendary space frequented by literary greats such as Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Joyce, and is a must-visit for literature lovers.
If you climb the narrow stairs, you will find a cat napping and an old typewriter with notes left by someone. You can freely look around the interior even if you don’t buy a book, and the reading space on the 2nd floor is open to everyone.
🌯 Falafel Kebab: A Taste of the Middle East in the Marais District
After leaving the bookstore and walking along the Seine River, you will arrive at the Marais District. The falafel street here is a famous place that is considered the 'best street food in Paris'.
You can find the most famous store by looking for the one with the long line. A bite of the kebab filled with crispy falafel balls, rich hummus, and fresh vegetables will instantly fill your stomach that was hungry from walking.
Eating on a bench by the road like a local is also a romantic part of this street!
🌅 Sunset and music at Ile de la Cité
When you slowly turn around from the Marais District, Ile de la Cité will soon unfold before your eyes. The promenade behind Notre Dame Cathedral and overlooking the Seine River is one of the most romantic spots in Paris.
At sunset, street musicians play along and the water turns golden. While sitting with a baguette in your hand and looking out at the scenery, you will naturally exclaim, "Ah, this is Paris."
Traveler's Tips
If you go to Shakespeare's Bookstore early in the morning, you can see it quietly.
If you take the falafel and enjoy it on a bench on the Ile de la Cité, the romance of this course will be doubled.
Aim for the sunset time on the Ile de la Cité. It has a quiet and calming feeling.
