A bookshop on Rue de Rivoli makes browsing a natural companion to a Tuileries walk.
Galignani brings French and Anglo-American books together on Rue de Rivoli. Its multilingual team makes it a useful address when you want to browse in English as well as French, close to the Tuileries and the Louvre district.
Leave a little space in the day for the shelves instead of treating this as a quick souvenir stop. It is an easy bookshop to combine with the museums and gardens along this stretch of central Paris.
