A heatwave was raging when I snapped these. Iconic bookstore (the original was founded between the wars by Sylvia Beach, whose Princeton grave is here) and water fountain...
I would love to visit this book store. Just to wonder and look around. Not sure I could find there a book in English. Love the fountain. It's very beautiful! And the last picture is so compelling. I can't take my eyes from it. Great moments from Paris!!!!
Four fine postcards. If you were back in the old USA in July, you would have given your sweat glands a workout, too. July was VERY hot in the northeast.
Love your postcards! The water fountains are one of my favorite icons of Paris. Looks like you were able to take in a lot of the city despite the heat, bravo :)
I have a photo very similar to the one of the book store. (Different shoppers of course.) It's a great place to spend a morning. Your photos bring back very nice memories.
Fantastic shots. I remember visiting Shakespeare's when Aimee and I were in Paris. Your images are making me feel restless Lulu, I will have to conquer my ever growing fear of flying and get back there soon :)

Beautiful shots!
That's a book store I could thoroughly enjoy myself in.

That bookstore would be a delight to visit.
And what a wonderful way to cool off :)

That bookstore would be my first stop if I ever visit Paris. We had a store in Phoenix with the same name. I loved it.
Classic shots, Lulu. That heatwave stretched over some distance far and wide. I enjoyed it here while it lasted :). Loving your postcards!
It is much much cooler now (it was actually cold last night) thank heavens! You've been all over the place!
Lovely bookstore.
And your "too hot.." and "water spray" are a good pair.
The book shop brings back memories, spent many a franc/euro in there over the years. Wonderful place!
Tres tres bon! Hope you escaped down to the Paris Plage.
Delightful!
Me encanta la librería.., preciosa,
pero como buena foto, me quedo con: “Taht´s better”
Un saludo, Ángel
great pictures!

Looks like you are having a super holiday
What a lovely walk about. So much going on. Enjoy your holiday.
Great photos! What pretty pictures, wonderful shower in the street, I really like!
My heart breaks a little every time I see a picture of Paris.
Sorry it was so hot when you were there. Looks like there's so much to see and do.
I love the bookshop, including the notes on the wall upstairs....
