The antique and second-hand book market: a unique and unusual market in Paris
Are you a book lover? Do you love the smell of ink and old bindings? Every weekend,an event brings together all Parisian bibliophiles: the antique and second-hand book market. Located in the 15th arrondissement, it has been attracting many enthusiasts every weekend for almost 40 years.

In this open-air treasure trove, you’re bound to find something you love, from antique books with covers that have sometimes suffered the ravages of time to more modern books and manuscripts. Over the years, the market has gradually expanded its offerings to include comic books, manga, vinyl records, old posters, photos, and a few curiosities and trinkets to proudly display on your shelves…

Housed in the century-old pavilion designed by architect Ernest Moreau, this market is undoubtedly one of the most charming (and photogenic) in Paris. Every weekend, no fewer than fifty booksellers open their stalls! A fabulous place that will put stars in your eyes…
