Totally beautiful a credit to Paris.

I saw this bookshop one day, coming back home I had to pass by so I entered and I became amazed with it. It's simply magic...the atmosphere is wonderful...there was a group of people upstairs talking about books etc all in circle...and then another group of people ..some playing chess, others playing the piano...books are virtually everywhere...even in the strangest places/shelves...it's unique and I reccomend EVERYONE, especially those who love books and English, to see that !

This gets my vote as best video on You Tube, bar none, should there ever be such a thing. For why the endearment? Part having been there, part that the music and presentation resonates so fully with traditional values. Something we can touch now that takes us back to what once was. This place a warm oasis, a milestone on life's journey. May it long remain so. It has a value greater than rubies.
