Shakespeare & Co.

From Wikipedia:

Shakespeare and Company, is an independent bookstore located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris's Left Bank. Shakespeare and Company serves as a bookstore and also a lending library, specializing in English-language literature. The upstairs also serves as a makeshift dormitory for travelers, known as "tumbleweeds," who earn their keep by working in the shop for a couple of hours each day.

This is also the bookstore in the opening of Before Sunset.

Love the photo. Actually the place reminds me of a bookstore I visited a few times in Kathmandu: too many books in too little space. Although this one has a chandelere instead of a plain light bulb...

Wonderful picture. My girlfriend and I adore this store. We stumbled upon it on our first trip to Paris, and have visited every time we go back. Magical place in a magical city.
