Welcome to the thought cafe! I thought I would make a little recommendations list. I love fall and all the vibes around it. It’s a perfect season for all the in-betweens, so if you happen to be in Paris (or not, don’t fret), here are a few english bookstores you can visit, as well as some book recommendations to read/add to your tbr this fall!

English bookstore recommendations if you’re in Paris:

1. Librarie Galignani
   I love this bookstore so so much, it’s so beautiful and their collections are lovely.

2. Smith & Son
   Only a minute or two’s walk from Galignani, this one has a cafe and a lovely selection of books as well.

   

   3. The Abbey Bookshop
   Small, but packed with so many books. The choices are endless all the way from vintage books to newer editions.

   

   
   4. The Red wheelbarrow

   Beautiful selections and the choices are just never ending

   

   - I have personally visited these all myself, and they’re all so worth it! Whether you would like to spend a bookish day just visiting all these stores or go to them one by one, they’re all equally beautiful in my opinion, and all are a must visit.
