I love walking along the Seine from the Quai du Louvre to Pont Marie (right bank) and from the Quai Voltaire to the Quai de la Tournelle (left bank). It is hard to miss the booksellers that have on display used and antique books, old records, old magazines, stamps, souvenirs, posters and postcards, magnets and tin signs. The green boxes run along the river having thousands of books, etc. On duty are 240 bouquinistes. Depending on the weather they are open several days a week from 11.30am to sunset.
I bought an original EU version of the Beatles Abbey Road for my daughter for Christmas. She was amazed! Also, I got some vintage french children’s posters and postcards. My other daughter received some vintage fashion magazines that I found there. It is so much fun digging in!
