  • 1. The Red Wheelbarrow Bookstore

    An English-language bookshop where you can pick up that translated French classic you may have been inspired to read.

    A delightful hidden treasure is this shop/workshop where the owner lovingly restores antique musical instruments such as trumpets, harps and violins.

  • 3. La Chaiserie du Faubourg

  • 4. Chez Teil

    Specializing in products from the Auvergne, mostly foodstuffs such as Auvergne sausages.

  • 5. The Filofax Centre

    The name says it all, for the ubiquitous binder that palmtop organizers have not ousted completely. Also stationery, pens and associated items.

  • 6. L’rt du Bureau

    If your desk is your altar, you’ll find everything you could possibly need here, and it’s all in the most modern designs. In fact, this shop is worth visiting for the design aspects alone.

    Beautiful bookshop, though the content is on the serious side, concentrating on art, philosophy and politics.

    Parisian stationery shops are a class apart, and here you will find stylish notebooks, pens, pads and other tasteful items.

  • 10. A la Petite Fabrique
