Ancient Book market

by GUYON - last update: Jan 19, 2003

A covered book market

The book market
We like to search here the "old book" with its yellowed cover.

There are also some vynil records.

Square Georges Brassens (metro : Convention)
The market

The sheds

How many books in this large market. Impossible to tell that. We stay for hours without be bored.

Searching

Monique, have you find a book of theater for our daughter ?

It's a pity there is not anymore vintage records merchands.
The search
Le poids des mots, le choc de ma photo

Books sold according to the weight

5€ for 1 kilo. It is not expensive for the thought and the litterature.
A modesty lesson for the authors.

The weight of the culture

Et je vous mets combien de kilos de Victor Hugo, ma bonne dame ?
Litterature at the kilo
Chez Poilane

Poilane bread

Maybe you know this brown bread, with the steady crump and cut by large slices. It is called "Pain Poilane" and often it is used for the sandwiches.

This famous bread was created by Lionel POILANE here, in this bakery, in front of the market.

Wine

After a good novel, a good bread : a perfect wine.

Repaire de Bacchus is (like Nicolas) a chain store devoted to the wine.

 Your Paris pages are the best! We will renew our carte de sejour very soon and we will continue on in Paris due to financial crisis in the USA. Hope to meet you one day soon. All the best.
