Reviews

What a beautiful small Square right across the bridge from Notre-Dame. After visiting Notre-Dame and heading over to The Shakespeare & Co. book store we passed through this wonderful space filled with roses, flowers an amazing old tree and some benches to rest on. Paris is just filled with these small peaceful parks.
