Les bouquinistes: tradition of shopping old book
  • Tip Rating:
  • Paris Les bouquinistes
  • Les bouquinistes

  • Name of Shop: Les bouquinistes

    The embankments of the Seine are an obligated passage place to go to some districts. But it is also about a pleasant walk goal, in full heart of bets, and the possibility to stroll. It is also there that are the bouquinistes, these second-hand book merchants without whom the embankments of the Seine in Paris would not be the embankments.

    What To Buy: It is possible to find either on the embankments many old books magazines, but also of the engravings, and everything that has report to the edition.

  • Name of Shop: Le Forum des Halles

    Les Halles. Cet ancien marché est aujourd'hui forum et centre commercial. A proximité se dresse l'église Ste-Eustache du XVIème siècle (ici, à droite), la bourse de commerce et son dôme (ici, à gauche) et le centre Pompidou.

    Le Forum des Halles est un vaste centre commercial souterrain, avec une bibliothèque et de nombreux magasins, accessibles directement depuis le métro.
    Ne pas confondre avec le centre Georges Ponpidou, qui est un musée d'Arts Moderne (voir mes pages sur Beaubourg).

    What To Buy: Les Halles (the Covered markets). This former market is today forum and shopping mall. To proximity the Ste-Eustache church of the XVIth century (here, on the right), the stock market of trade and its dome (here, on the left) and the Pompidou center.

    The Forum of the Hallesis directly a vast shopping mall underground, with a library and many stores, accessible since the subway.
    Not to confound with the center Georges Ponpidou, that is a museum of Modern's Arts (to see my pages on Beaubourg).

     Great tips on Paris' gardens- I am going in December with my new husband- any of these best for winter walks?
