Paris/Montmartre - Librarian Geeko-Witch

I love coffee, books, mainly.
Show me a nice stationery, library or bookstore where they have good coffee and I'll be in heaven.

I also listen and play some music ! Trying to go to as many music festival as I can.
(Swing/Bluegrass/Oldtime/Celtic... I can't choose so I guess I love Folk music the best).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling as much as I can in whole Europe and I'm planning some US trips this year ;)

IMPORTANT :
I didn't get "verified" yet because I'm not sure I agree with Couchsurfing on that ! The price is quite high and doesn't seem to fit with the original spirit of the platform.
