Whether one is in Paris, going to Paris, or merely dreaming of Paris, these six books readily offer immersion into the great literary city—and so much more.

A wine bar in Paris serves as the setting for a story, but were any of the characters ever even there?

Welcome to our excursion through literary Paris, where we journey across a selection of cafés, museums, bookstores, and more to illuminate some of the rich writerly history that can be discovered in the City of Light.

This story reveals the complexities of a writer projecting characters onto others, as well as the perils of traveling with secrets.

The literary abounds in the pretty Galérie Vivienne in Paris. Alongside an antique bookstore and detective tales, a new story is conceived about lives imagined.

This new story is inspired by a trip on the Paris Métro, where a narrator discovers the city’s detritus and divine.
