Paris est un livre

The Parisian book ecosystem is unique. With its 626 bookshops of all kinds - 27 of which are one hundred years old or more - the 230 second-hand booksellers who have surrounded Notre-Dame for more than 450 years, the statues of writers, the memorial plaques, the literary hotels and cafés, the libraries, the poetry clubs... Paris seems to be the book capital of the world.

An ode to booksellers and a tribute to Paris, this book takes readers on a visual journey through the city's ‘extravagant bibliodiversity’, discovering its incredible literary heritage.
