100 Books Project :: Paris, Part One
January 27, 2011
{Book #90 was placed in Paris, France by Book Fairy Tara Bradford.}
Today’s Give Away will be for another Tokyo Mystery Goodie!
I guess this means the final countdown of stories for the 100 Books Project has officially begun. Only ten more stories to post, and then I’ll be able to say, “That’s a wrap!”
This story’s a good one ~ check back tomorrow for Part Two!
“Since I met Christine in 2008 in San Francisco – and took home one of her gorgeous paintings – I’ve been a fan. It was a treat to spend time with her in Jordan earlier this year and witness a book fairy episode firsthand at the Amman Amphitheatre. So when Christine asked me to be her Paris book fairy, of course I was thrilled!
My first thought was to take it to the Louvre Pyramid. But the guards may have viewed it as a security issue and every time I planned to go, it rained. On Saturday morning I went to Le Palais d’Iena, the beautiful Greek-revival rotunda by Auguste Perret, which houses the Conseil Economique Sociale et Envrionnemental. The bronze statue seemed like the ideal place for Christine’s book to catch the eye of a discerning passer-by. Hope the lucky finder enjoys Christine’s book as much as I have!”

The project sounds wonderful–I would love to know who discovered the books and what they thought…love it!!!
morning. i have enjoyed reading all the stories of the book fairies. it is interesting to see where they put the books, after such great thought is put into where they will leave the book. and then later, with anticipation, we get to read about the person who found the wonderful treasure of christine’s book.
have a wonderful day in tokyo,enjoying all that there is to see and do.
How cool is that bottom photo…imagine being the one to find the book…I feel tomorrow I won’t be imagining it…:) That is a gift in itself.
Oh Paris, tu me manques…
Love the book fairy stories, can’t wait to read the rest of this one tomorrow.
