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
Québécois writing offers a distinctive literary stop on the Left Bank.
The Librairie du Québec gives Québécois writing a dedicated Paris address. Its catalogue reaches beyond novels into poetry, comics, children’s books, history, society and work connected with First Nations.
Use the booksellers’ selections as an entry point if the field is new to you, or arrive with a subject to explore across genres. It is a focused literary detour on the Left Bank, with the online catalogue useful for checking a specific title before travelling.
