I hadn't thought of this place in a long while. It made me go back into my email and find this:

"I visited Shakespeare and Co. a few years back with my Brazilian friend Marco. I believe it was a place that my dad probably frequented before his death 8 years ago. I spoke for a few minutes to Silvia about whether there was a book which she really wanted to get rid of in the antiquity section and she laughed and said she loved them all. But, I found a book at the top of the shelves for my first nephew by Jack London, a book my father used to read with my brother and me when we were younger."

This place is a gem. And, it's in the beginning of the movie "Before Sunset" from the best American filmmaker, Richard Linklater.




Bonus fact; Ethan Hawke, star of "Before Sunset", turned up on his own in Paris aged 16 and spent most of a week sleeping in Shakespeare and Co.


The Before trilogy is a gem of modern cinema.
