"Set in an 18th-century former hôtel on a medieval street known for its parchment sellers, this snug English-language bookstore is a literary labyrinth of stuffed shelves and teetering piles, with non-fiction tucked down a narrow cellar flight and a playful sign warning visitors to “abandon all bags.” The staff are famously friendly, quick to help and often to offer a cup of tea or coffee on the house." - Olivia Ho
