In Paris, there are great monuments, but also very small secrets. If the future belongs to those who get up early, the capital reveals itself to those who pay attention to details. So, when you walk through the streets of Paris, keep your eyes open! You may well come across a Parisian mystery.
When your steps lead you to the Latin Quarter, by rushing into the rue des Anglais, you might find yourself in front of a strange library. Next to this piece of furniture embedded in a stone wall, a sign explains the concept of this"street library" in a few words: "Take, read, bring back". It is very clear and, curiosity satisfied, one generally continues its way.
However, the most curious book lovers can get their hands on another mystery. When you pick up one of the books in this street library (we won't tell you which one), a mechanism is activated and the piece of furniture turns out to be a door leading to a secret passage. You can only half-open it to see a dark corridor and at the end of it you can briefly see a door with a metal ornament. This raises even more questions.
Congratulations, you have found the entrance to the Secret Place, a privatized spot that reveals vaulted rooms that are particularly found in the Latin Quarter. An original concept with a Chemin de Traverse feel that contributes to Parisian mysteries!
