Make a day of northeast Paris
Choose an arts hall, a hillside park or a Cambodian meal. Four starting points for getting beyond the centre.
Culture Paris
A long-established bookshop adds a literary detour near the Palais-Royal.
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.
