A place worth knowing

Delamain moved to its address opposite the Comédie-Française in 1906, after a century at the Palais-Royal. Its wooden floors and tall oak bookcases frame a bookshop whose history links contemporary publishing with older and collectible books.

Make this the literary stop in a Palais-Royal walk. Browse with a subject in mind or ask a bookseller for a recommendation; the shop’s own history is a good starting point for understanding its long connection with this part of Paris.
