Book cover Café Le Royal

Le Royal: a café, a story, a breath of elsewhere…

Opening a book is already an escape. But with this Maron Bouillie book cover, the journey begins with the cover itself. Not a faraway land, but a very real place rooted in Paris’s 11th arrondissement: the Royal café. Of Italian origin and founded in the early 20th century, it still bears the visible marks of its past on its beautiful façade.

This textile treasure captures a vivid scene: outdoor tables, hand-painted signage, and the soft glow of Parisian bistros. But open your book and suddenly you’re transported again. Inside Le Royal, the walls tell a second story—that of Northern Italy. Women in traditional dress are depicted on large ceramic panels, silent muses from another world.

This book cover becomes a bridge between cultures, a tribute to hybrid spaces, to cafés that echo with conversation, and to the stories we read in silence. Made in France from recycled polyester and lined with organic cotton, it adapts to any standard paperback thanks to its adjustable flaps. It protects, it enhances, it evokes. A built-in bookmark cord ensures you never lose your place.

Yes, it’s a practical object—but also a subtle statement. An ode to Parisian cafés and the worlds we carry in our bags. Le Royal becomes a portable backdrop, a soft shell for your stories, a crafted memory stitched with care.
