Shakespeare and Company is a legendary English-language bookshop in Paris, located near the Seine and Notre-Dame Cathedral. Founded in 1951 by George Whitman, the shop became a haven for writers, artists, and literary enthusiasts, following in the footsteps of the original store opened by Sylvia Beach in 1919.

This is one of the world's greatest bookshops so it's a must for literate gays. It's charming location near the Seine is an added bonus. The setting is very Instagrammable.
