A charming family run english bookstore in the heart of the latin quarter. I found it whilst in paris in late september and spent an afternoon rifling through a huge selection of new and used books. There is a wonderful message written by the former owner - the 'don quixote' of the latin quarter - on a chalkboard outside which is worth the visit alone. I cannot recommend it highly enough for any lover of literature, particularly those who are a bit tired of the ubiquitous chain-stores. A one off delight.
37, rue de la bucherie - 75005 PARIS
