I was fortunate enough to meet Agnès Poirier last week at l‘Institut Français Royaume-Uni. She was introducing a showing of a fantastic documentary about the organ in Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral, and I grabbed the opportunity to ask her to sign a copy of her latest book, which I am eagerly looking forward to reading. #agnespoirier #notredamedeparis #notredame #paris #history #books #france #frenchhistory
Great review in The Economist of Agnes Poirier‘s marvellous ‘Left Bank‘. They found it as delightful as I did. https://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21741126-inquiry-old-haunt-sartre-.... #leftbank #agnespoirier #simondebeauvoir #philosophy #jeanpaulsartre #existentialism

Racing through this marvellous book almost too quickly. I am enjoying reading about the Left Bank renaissance but don‘t want to finish the book too soon. #agnespoirier #leftbank #philosophy #paris #1959s #existentialism #jeanpaulsartre #simonedebeauvoir #albertcamus #politics #book #books #bookstagram #currentlyreading #booksandcoffee #coffeeandbooks #verocaffè #caffeine #coffeecompass #caffeneaddict #friernbarnet #blackcoffee
Just a few pages in and I am already captivated by this book about the cultural, philosophical and literary rebirth in post-War Paris. Best coffee so far this week, too. #agnespoirier #leftbank #book #books #currentlyreading #bookstagram #coffeecompass #verocaffe #friernbarnet #coffee #caffeine #caffeineaddict #booksandcoffee #coffeeandbooks #wakeupandsmellthecoffee #wakeupandsmellthecoffin #philosophy #politics #paris
