(Last Update: 06.09.2024) Saint michelI have mentioned in my previous articles that one of the best things you can do while traveling is to visit a bookstore. Shakespeare and Company ve Gibert Jeune I tried to introduce these places to you by writing articles about them. Now it is located in this region and is one of my favorite bookstores. BoulinierIt's time to.
Boulinier, founded in 1845 (buliniye) Saint michelfrom Luxembourg Gardenleading to Avenue Saint Michel A very nice bookstore located on the right side. But I recommend you to look at the larger branch at number 16, rather than the small place at number 20. Especially second hand books, comics, CDs, DVDs and old records They also have a rich collection of; That's why I love visiting Boulinier when I come this way.
Just like the familiar bookstores of Paris, second-hand books on every subject lined up on the counters in front of the door welcome you here; That's why, even if I'm not going to go in, these stalls attract me as I pass by on the street, and even if I'm not going to buy them, I love poking around these books.
When you enter, you will see the safe in front of you. When you turn right and left, there are round metal stairs from both sides that you can reach the upper and lower floors. The cash register at the entrance is located in the middle, the other floors are half a floor up and half a floor down. We can say that the upper floor is mostly divided into a music section, and the lower floor is divided into a book and comics section.
a complete one in France comic book (Band Dessiné/BD) There is a craze and it is very common, especially among young people. Every time I am reminded of something I enjoyed reading in my early youth. KizilmaskeThese comics, which remind me of , are sold with luxury bindings and high quality prints, although there is no trace of the straw papers I read, but the logic is still the same. That's why I love looking at these BDs when I go to bookstores like Boulinier.
It is also quite enjoyable to spend time in the section where old records are kept. You can find both current and old records here. I always remember the hundreds of records I found in the attic of our house when I was a child.
When I decided to write this article and went to Boulinier to take photos, I couldn't resist and browsed through the second-hand books on the counter. Even though I'm allergic to old furniture dust, I still can't help but rummage through old books. This time, you can buy the two books you see above for 20 cents each. l'Alchimiste ve Da Vinci CodeWhen I found , I bought it immediately... If you want to read a book in French, I suggest you don't go back without looking at Boulinier's counter. You have a small chance of finding second-hand English books. But I think this is the best place to go Shakespeare and Company It will be.
And while we're here, other bookstores Gibert Jeune ve Gibert JosephIt is also useful to see. If you are looking for a huge second-hand secondhand market in Paris, then you are in the right place. Le Marché du Livre AncienIt should fall to .
Boulinier, whose logo is very cute, has branches in other districts of Paris, but I like this place the most. If you wish, you can visit the bookstore's website to see where other branches are located.
Let there always be books in your life...
Enjoyable reading, pleasant travels.
