Reviews
Small places with tons of books. The worker was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful.
Book store devoted to philosophy. Helpful staff. Most books are obviously in French, but they also have foreign language books.
I wish they had books in English. But no. They only sell books in French. I went inside asking for a book in English and everyone looked at me like a Martian had landed on earth. But they were very very friendly.
The philosopher traveling with me said he felt like a kid in a candy store! Be aware there are special summer hours.
So calm
If you want the whole (history of) philosophy in French and in the original this is the place for you!
