What people say

Raven Patzke
"Bouquinistes is the name for the booksellers who have lined up their shops along the bank of the river Seine. Soak in the neat aesthetic of this open-air bookshop as you search for used and antiquarian books from the traders."

"The most unique Parisian bookshop πŸ“š Some 900 book boxes filled with treasured works line the Right Bank, from Pont Marie to Quai du Louvre, and the Left Bank, from Quai de la Tournelle to Quai Voltaire"
"Bordering the banks of the Seine, the bouquinistes are inseparable from ParisπŸ“š"

I adore reading and walking (I like to do both at the same time, much to my mother's apprehension). I studied literature and history and patiently assembled all the details I give you here, by searching and reading a lot.
