Tag: Shakespeare and Company

Paris was to me that lazy July afternoon I spent in le Quartier Latin, under the unusually scorching sun that had set over the Rive Gauche of the French capital: the stroll I took from Notre Dame to Shakespeare and Company, sipping the iced cream coffee I happily bought in a traditional Vietnamese cafeteria, in remembrance of dear past travels, followed by a long walk along the short and touristy Rue de la Huchette, looking for the narrowest street in Paris, Rue du Chat-qui-Pêche. I ended up in the archeological crypt of Notre-Dame, which turned out to be the best spot to literally chill and read some stuff about the history of the city. After a while, I braced myself and got out and on the metro back to the hotel. It was time well spent, for a first time in Paris.
