Why locals recommend it
Nine years after Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke met in Vienna in Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise, they reunite in this legendary bookshop for the second film in the trilogy, Before Sunset. The independent English-language bookstore has become a source of inspiration for many famous American writers. If you want to learn more about the shop’s history, pick up a copy of Shakespeare and Company, Paris: A History of the Rag & Bone Shop of the Heart.

This is my favorite place in Paris. Enough said :) There are great cafes all around. And a cute parc you can picnic in right next to it.
