Bookshops, Bookstores in Paris

Bookstores

Paris has always been the city of writers and poets from all over the world. A large majority of the bookshops are located in the neighborhood of the Latin Quarter and St Germain des Pres. Near the Centre Georges Pompidou, you will also find many bookshops, poster shops and art prints. Around the Louvre you will find many shops selling reproductions of classical art.

The Library has wifi and if you have your laptop then you can access the internet for no charge other than the day pass to use the library.

Bookshops
Paris, being a city of writers and poets from the whole world, is an eldorado for any book lover. Many bookshops are located in the university neighbourhoods, such as the Latin Quarter and St-Germain. Close to the Pompidou Centre, Paris’s gigantic cultural temple, you will also find quite a few bookshops selling books, posters and fine art prints.
The art bookshops around the Louvre present the perfect counterpart to the modern art bookshops of the Georges Pompidou Centre district.
