Very rude. Can't even look at what book you want to buy. Isn't that the whole point of a bookstore?…read moreMake sure you walk in knowing exactly what you want and don't touch anything or you'll be yelled at.

When I simply tried to explain that I was looking to buy something and was just taking a look, the two people working there launched into a screaming fit, using antisemitic slurs I guess because I was wearing a chai necklace, never in my life have i seen anything like this. Avoid at all costs.

They have stationary, pens, pencils, Rhodia pads, post cards and little trinkets...like you would find in any normal independent bookstore.

The best children's selection of any bookstore I've visited in France so far -- not the largest,…read morebut the most carefully selected and curated, which is important. Shopping for preteens, so it was nice to find a great assortment of classic English-language books en Français as well as many French children's books. I should clarify I was not looking for anything in English, so try the big Gibert-Joseph or WH Smith for English-language children's books. There were some lovely bande-desinées (aka graphic novels) and a nice selection of recent fiction and non-fiction. Not a large bookshop, but a lovingly curated one, and that's what matters most to me.

I love visiting bookstores while traveling, and Librairie Delamain was a good one, a lovely place…read morein the heart of tourist-facing Paris, on Rue St Honoré near the Louvre. I dropped in with my friends, one of whom wanted to buy French books for her children. I was just happy to browse. The store was attractive and welcoming, with a definite European bookstore charm. It was packed dense with books, on numerous display tables and climbing high on every wall. There was a cute dedicated room for children's books. I browsed the section of translated English language literature, and it was quite compact, a reminder that the world is large and not everyone cares what we Americans are doing at all times. (They did not carry my book, which has been translated into French. One of my friends very sweetly embarrassed me by asking. I found her with a polite lady who worked at the bookstore, the two of them looking at my face on a screen.) There were tons of cool coffee table books, which I enjoyed looking at in the absence of any French ability. I saw tons of art books, including one for the Rothko exhibition we were about to visit, and a great book about French drag. I was also amused by a Wes Anderson book tagged with a shelf talker that read, in French, "Perfect for fans of Wes Anderson!!" Anyway, I appreciated Librairie Delamain and would recommend it to anyone in search of books in this part of Paris. It's a beautiful store with a nice assortment of French books.
