Inside there are about 24 drawers with vinyls but NO order, NO specific category, but they add the new arrivals every few hours. The vinyls have small white labels with the date of entering the store and the price. Inside the store only the PROMO drawer has vinyls at 0,50 euro. The prices of vinyls from the other drawers are from 1 euro to 10 euro (most are over 3 euro), but there are only used vinyls, most of them with classical music (walses, opera, concerts) or french music. I spent few hours today browsing EVERY vinyl and I can say there are few american vinyls, most french or french edition or french music. I was lucky to find Sam Brown "Stop" single and Sandra "Maria Magdalena" single. There is also another section with 45 RPM singles at 1 euro piece. I could see a clerk labeling the fresh-received vinyls with a label gun. He brought the vinyls every hour and put them in the "NEW ARRIVALS" box. The CDs are sealed with some transparent tape and there was a tentative of alphabetical order (you could see some names, letters) but the chaos was the best word to descriebe that area. The plastic bags for the vinyls/books/etc are free :D

Every visit we find numerous resources and we used to carry them home until the luggage was just getting unmanageable, shipping is so much easier.

This is very close to Boulinier (9 minutes walking).

The shop opened in the 50s by an American called George Whitman and he initially named it Le Mistral. I believe the name changed in the 60s to what we know it as today.

Whether you stick downstairs where it gets busy or upstairs where it's for more of a library feel, it's simply a magical experience.

I'm docking a star since this place has gotten so incredibly popular. On the day that I visited, there was a giant line just to get inside. It does move quickly, but it was pretty crazy inside to navigate with so many people. I spent most of my time with my kids, reading them books. They had a nice selection in the back and a place to sit down. I didn't really get much of a chance to explore the full space. They ended up closing early the day I visited, and they start by closing the top floor first. So I mainly explored the ground level. I'd love to come back. But would prefer to find a day or time that wasn't so hectic. My partner bought a book and the line stretched through the entire store.
