Top 10 Booksellers
-
1. Shakespeare and Co
Bibliophiles spend hours in the rambling rooms of Paris’s renowned English-language bookshop. There are books in other languages too and poetry readings most Mondays at 8pm.
-
2. Bouquinistes
The green stalls of the booksellers (bouquinistes ) on the quays of the Left Bank are a Parisian landmark. Pore over the posters, old postcards, magazines, hardbacks, paperbacks, comics and sheet music.
-
3. Musée d’Orsay Bookshop
As well as its wonderful collections, the museum has a bewilderingly large and busy art bookshop (see Musée d’Orsay).
-
4. La Hune
Landmark literary hangout. Good collections on art, photography and literature.
-
5. Librairie Gourmande
Foodies should head for this haven, where cookbooks in several languages are available, along with posters and other food-related items.
-
6. Album
Specialist in comic books, which are big business in France, from Tintin to erotica.
-
7. Librairie Présence Africaine
Specialist on books on Africa, as the name suggests. Good information point, too, if you want to eat African food or hear African music.
-
8. Tea & Tattered Pages
An excellent venue for a relaxed afternoon’s browsing among thousands of English-language books; you can have a cuppa, too.
-
9. Librairie Maeght
Specialist in books on art adjoining the Maeght art gallery, with a good collection of posters, postcards and other items.
-
10. The Village Voice
North American bias, but works by writers from around the world as well.
