You'll love cycling on its tiny back streets and learning its vibrant history.

It has shelves overflowing with the literature of all ages and sorts. You'll learn its fascinating history and then have free time to explore inside it and maybe meet some of the the authors who actually sleep in the store!
The Procope is the oldest Café in Paris! The Procope was founded in 1686 and has seen many of the most famous people in history eat there.
