Feeling homesick? Craving American-style food while traveling? In this article we\u2019ll take a look at American owned businesses in Â鶹APP which are a treat for locals, tourists, and expats alike.<\/p>\n
Shakespeare and Co. Bookstore<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Inspired by Sylvia Beech\u2019s original shop (founded in 1919 in the Latin Quarter, and closed in 1941), George Whitman opened Shakespeare and Company<\/a>, in homage to Beech, in 1951.<\/p>\n Whitman\u2019s philosophy came from American poet Walt Whitman, \u2018Be not inhospitable to strangers, lest they be angels in disguise\u2019. He allowed travellers to stay at his bookshop free of charge, but it wasn\u2019t a free ride. The \u2018tumbleweeds\u2019 were expected to work in the bookshop a few hours a day, and write a one page auto-biography at the end of their stay. Incredibly, the bookshop still welcomes \u2018tumbleweeds\u2019.<\/p>\n Synonymous with the Beat Generation <\/em>of American poets that spent time in the bookshop, it is celebrated around the world, and a \u2018must visit\u2019 when in Â鶹APP. They also host numerous book reading events, have an antiquarian that sells rare and older books, and recently opened a\u00a0caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n Location: <\/strong>37 rue de la Bucherie, 75005, PARIS<\/p>\n Hours of Operation: <\/strong><\/p>\n 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily<\/p>\n Map:<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Shakespeare](\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/shakespeare_and_company_bookstore_paris_13_august_2013.jpg\")
