Lonely Planet review

More like a book-lined private lounge, this heritage-listed townhouse-turned-bookshop has more than 18,000 new and used books (slide the shelves aside to see more books hidden behind). Canadian owner Brian Spence serves continuous free tea and coffee (with maple syrup), and organises weekend hikes around Paris as well as literary events where wine and conversation flow in equal measure.
