Uncover the stories behind Paris' literary landmarks
At Story Street, we are passionate about literature and Paris. We believe that the stories we read have the power to transport us to different worlds.
Inspired by this intersection of art and culture, we created a platform that allows travellers to explore the locations in Paris where their favourite books take place. Join us on a journey through the streets of Paris as we uncover the hidden stories behind its iconic landmarks.
Hi 👋
I'm Soninke Combrinck
I am a Product Designer with six years of experience from South Africa who fell in love with venture building and the Swiss Alps. I am fascinated by design and storytelling, and I build digital products and experiences that put users first.
From the founder
“I started travelling by myself in 2017 when I was 25 years old. Paris was an exciting trip for me. It’s a fabulous city full of museums and art galleries, but after visiting them all, I grew lonely. I didn’t speak the language. I hadn’t been there before. This is normally the time I call my mom.
“One day I went to the Louvre. Not inside, just to it. I sat near the big glass pyramid. I suddenly recognised it from one of my favourite books - ‘The Da Vinci Code’ by Dan Brown. Then this place did not seem so strange. I had been here before, but in Robert Langdon’s shoes.
“These are the moments I want to create - to make the unfamiliar familiar. To help you connect with the city.”
