La Guinguette à deux sous
Out of stock
A radiant late afternoon. A sun so warm it feels almost syrupy in the peaceful streets of the Left Bank. And everywhere—on people’s faces, in the thousand familiar sounds of the street—there is a zest for life.
There are days like that, when life feels less mundane and when passersby—on the sidewalks, trams, and cars—seem to be playing their part in a fairy tale.
It was June 27. When Maigret arrived at the gate of the Santé, the sentry, moved by the scene, was watching a little white cat playing with the milkmaid’s dog.
Une fin d'après-midi radieuse. Un soleil presque sirupeux dans les rues paisibles de la Rive Gauche. Et partout, sur les visages, dans les mille bruits familiers de la rue, de la joie de vivre.
Il y a des jours ainsi, où l'existence est moins quotidienne et où les passants, sur les trottoirs, les tramways et les autos semblent jouer leur rôle dans une féerie.
C'était le 27 juin. Quand Maigret arriva à la poterne de la Santé, le factionnaire attendri regardait un petit chat blanc qui jouait avec le chien de la crémière.

FAQ
Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!
Are the books New?
Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.
What defines the prices of the books?
As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.
Do you have a shop?
My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine.
