(Last Update: 31.01.2025) Shakespeare and Company Café, Saint michel'also, Notre Dame CathedralRight across from the famous bookstore of the same name Shakespeare and CompanyJust one of the cute cafes in Paris, serving since 2015, right next to...
I don't remember what was here before but Shakespeare and Company Bookstoreowner of George Whiteman's eyes have been on this place for years but he hasn't been able to rent it, but somehow his dream of many years has finally come true and he has managed to open the new favorite place in Paris.
First time here July 2016French exchange friend in Charles I went with . Charles, whose photo you see above, wearing a blue t-shirt, sitting with his back turned 😉 He is a true fan of Turkey and a keen cyclist. So much so that the day this photo was taken Project to go from Paris to Istanbul by bike We talked about. A few weeks later, he set out on his dream journey and first reached Istanbul, then reached Iran via Georgia and Armenia. I had the chance to listen to his trip, which lasted 16 months, when he returned to Paris in December 2017. I love people who build beautiful and privileged lives even more.
Anyway, let's get back to our topic, Shakespeare and Company Café is a place that is new in terms of history but looks very old. Its decoration is simple and pleasant, but since it is a small place, there is a high probability of having a problem finding a place, although it varies from hour to hour. Since we are both people who start the day early, we met early and had the chance to capture the calm atmosphere of this place, but in my previous attempts, I could not sit inside because it was full. During my subsequent visits, sometimes I found a place, sometimes I couldn't.
The wooden benches in front of the door of the cafe are also very nice, but I like the inside more. Also, for as long as I can remember, my back has always hurt when I sat on backless wooden benches for a long time :) As you can see, I need chairs to sit back on, and they are inside. Sometimes (I guess depending on the weather) the tables in front of the door are removed...
Of course, if the weather is suitable, sitting outside has many advantages. First of all, you are in one of the most beautiful city views of Paris. Introducing Notre Dame Cathedral, famous again right next to you Shakespeare and Company Bookstore What more? Moreover, both of them are elegant and pleasant places that deserve this reputation and are what make Paris Paris.
at Shakespeare and Company Café organic products selling. I believe you can find something to suit your taste among their cakes and cookies. You might like the desserts and cookies, which are mainly American cuisine, which I don't like very much. For example George's key lime pie It's very famous, but I don't like pie either :) In such places, I generally prefer to just drink coffee, maybe something with chocolate... See the cafe's website. From the official website at the end of the article .
The employees at the venue -I think- anglophone because with all customers they speak englishSometimes they even respond to French speakers in English. Maybe it's always felt that way to me, I don't know. Notre-DameYou may get confused when speaking English in front of 🙂
I think Shakespeare and Company Café is a place that everyone who happens to be in Paris should visit. Of course, there is nothing better than visiting the bookstore first to get yourself in the mood, then going next door - if you can find a place - and sitting down and having a coffee. Because you are in Paris.
Afterwards Saint michelgetting lost in the streets of Boulevard Saint GermainMoving towards maybe, maybe Cite IslandGo to and make discovery tours there. Maybe Seine River Would you like to go down to the coast and wander around there? If you intend to do such a thing, I recommend you move in the left direction.
if you wish Pariste.Net TV on my Youtube channel, you can get an idea about both this cafe and the surrounding area by watching our live broadcast right in front of Shakespeare and Company:

I had such an enjoyable time in this cafe. Both their coffees were delicious and the atmosphere was very enjoyable.
Of course, after enjoying my coffee, I did not forget to visit the bookstore next door. It smelled like history.
