You can find many great bookshops in Paris, in particular in the Latin Quarter. Often these shops sell second hand books outside in baskets, and if you're lucky, you can pick up some real bargains. I had always wanted to own copies of Les Miserables and Notre-Dame de Paris written in their original language, and after much searching I finally got second-hand editions of both for next to nothing. One good place to get these bargains is the Gilbert-Jeune bookshop on Boulevard St. Michel but there are many more in the surrounding side streets. Also worth checking out are the Bouquinists alondg side the Seine near Notre Dame though these are becomingly increasingly expensive as they have been "discovered" by tourists. I read about a book collector who picked up a signed first edition of "Ulysees" by James Joyce for 20 francs many years ago. So you never know, you might strike it lucky!

Name of Shop: Samaritaine
Apparently there is a cafe on the roof of this shop, which gives great views over Paris. I did go looking for it at one time but it must have been closed or maybe I was at the wrong shop.

Name of Shop: Le Forum des Halles
A one-time food market, Le Forum des Halles has become a shopping mecca in recent years. With the world's busiest subway station, Chatelet-Les Halles, beneath all the shops, this place does get very crowded.

Shop for something a little different on Boulevard Montmartre...there are sex shops in many parts of the city, most numerous around Montmartre and Pigalle.

Shop till you drop on the Champs-Elysees. There are many large shops on this street, lots of cinemas, cafes and restaurants. You'll have no difficulty parting with your money here.

Great pages. Your love for this city is obvious. We all have a very special we like to go back to every so often. I love the 'drunk' picture with 4 Eiffel towers in the back ground! | leecouk12324 Fri Aug 17, 2007 14:52 UTC
Great to see you can keep going back to the same City and finding different things to do - i did the same with Amsterdam - but last time also got away from City - went Beach - did some Sumo wrestling. Off the beaten track! |
