Paper Love travel guide – take a look at these photos while you read
I had a lot of great feedback regarding the setting in my romance novel Paper Love, which is set in Freiburg, Germany, where I live. I really love the city, so for those of you who want to be able to imagine the locations, here’s a little Paper Love travel guide with photos from the places and dishes I described in the book. The pictures are sorted by chapter so you can easily take a look at the photos as you read (or re-read) Paper Love.
Enjoy!
Chapter 2
This is Bertoldsbrunnen (Bertold’s Fountain), where Susanne gets out of the streetcar on her first day of work
Martinstor (Martin’s Gate). Susanne walks through the arch on the right on her way to her uncle’s store.
The Martinstor (Martin’s Gate) was part of the medieval city fortification.
The streetcars drive through the archs of Martinstor too.
This is Kaiser-Joseph-Straße, Freiburg’s main shopping street, on the other side of the gate.
A few steps down the street, you catch sight of the Starbucks where Susanne wants to get coffee

On the restaurant is a mural of a monk tapping beer
This is what Paper Love might look like. In the bottom left corner is the Bächle that Susanne steps into
