Paris’ Literary Subway Map

Le Métro is such an iconic subway that novelists around the world have featured it in their literary works. Librarian and bibliophile, Bernard Strainchamps, has created this amazing interactive map of stations featured in some of the best classic literature.

Hovering over the map below will bring up excerpts from the novels, while clicking on the stations – or the excerpts themselves – will take you to an online repository where you can freely (and legally) download the books to read on your favorite e-reader (epub and mobi formats) or computer (pdf).

Enjoy!
