Editor’s Note: Kaycie, a former Lemuria bookseller and blogger pictured left, is now living in Paris while she studies French via New York University. We are lucky to feel that we have our very own Lemurian abroad, in Paris no less, and are tickled to share some of her more-or-less book related experiences from France. Enjoy.
Tea and Tattered Pages is a used English language bookstore in the sixth arrondissement. When we walked into the store, we were greeted by a sweet older woman and her fat, orange cat. She explained where literature, history, and children’s books could be located. The cat didn’t explain much of anything. It just stared at us.
I found the bookstore to be charming (it even has a little tearoom that’s open each evening until 6:30!), even though it was a little overpriced for used books. Of course I bought something anyway. I chose a paperback copy of The French Lieutenant’s Woman by John Fowles, while Meryl went with The Secret History by Donna Tartt (one of my favorites).
I will definitely return one day, hopefully before the tea room closes. If you’re interested in Tea & Tattered Pages, check out their website here.
Another Paris bookstore excursion led Kaycie to the famous Shakespeare & Co.–click here to go there.
