The Red Wheelbarrow Bookstore

Penelope Fletcher's English-language bookshop, facing the Luxembourg gardens — a tightly chosen Left Bank selection of literary fiction, poetry, small-press and food writing, with the bilingual children's offshoot next door.

Cross into the Jardin du Luxembourg opposite and read what you have just bought on a green chair.
