Why locals recommend it
There’s little I find more inspiring as a writer than strolling along the Seine and happening upon rare used books, vintage magazines, journals, posters, and postcards. These riverside book stands, here since the mid-19th century, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are regulated in size and shape, so you’ll never miss the green boxes. I like to support this tradition by picking up a few things each year. Just make sure you have cash on you. In my experience, most sellers don’t accept any other form of payment.
Tips from locals
One of Guy Savoy French Chef's restaurants (Michelin stars restaurants). Amazing food. Pricey. Just renovated.
Les Bouquinistes are riverside book sellers along the quays around the Pont Marie (bridge). This popular open-air bookshop features separate stalls stocked with classic and modern literary works. In addition to used and new books, there are also postcards and posters for sale.
