bookstore in Paris

hi
can anybody recommend some good bookstores in Paris? I know those on
boulevard St. Michel, but taking into concideration how big readers
French are, I believe there must something bigger with a greater
choice. On the web there are a lot of excellent bookstores but for one
or two books it is not worth paying the fees and postage. In other
words- is there a store where you can buy the stuff they offer on such
e-shops as alapage.fr or fnac.fr
thanks for any help

Pouvez-vous dire quelles sont (et o=F9 se trouvent-elles?) les plus
grandes librairies de Paris? Merci=20

Since we live near FNAC on the rue de Rennes, we tend to drop in there.
Ordering by the net I used Amazon although this can be done also
using FNAC.

The problem is whether you are interest in specialty items. For instance
my wife is preparing something on WWII, medical nutrition and sure enough
there is one of the book stalls on the Seine which specializes in cookbooks,
even from the occupation period. There is another bookstore which
specializes in new and used books on history (Pages Histoire in the 6th).

Boulevard St Michel has a lot of cheap books, stuff that is jobbed
off, like photo-histories of Paris or whatever. Also the rue des Ecoles
has a couple like this. There has been a gradual closing of small
bookstores in Paris, a slow evaporation which also occurs in the
case of cafes, characuteries, and other every day commercial establishments.
The city is becoming over supplied with clothing stores including
shoe stores. Trying to find a good "cheese" store is a parcours de
combattant.

If you have any reason to be in Lille (eg on your way to/from the UK by
rail), you should certainly head for what is reputed to be one of the
world's biggest and best bookstores: "Le Furet du Nord" (now part of the
FNAC group) in the Pl. du Général de Gaulle ( a few minutes' walk along the
Rue Faidherbe from Lille Flandres railway station).

hi,

FNAC is the brand leader I believe. Big branch at Les Halles.
