LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Located on Place Joachim-du-Bellay in the heart of Les Halles, Boulinier is a secondhand bookshop in the truest sense of the word. You come here to hunt through paperbacks starting at 0.20€ in bins that spill onto the pavement, or to dig through the interior shelves in search of a forgotten Gallimard NRF edition, a well-preserved Jean de Bonnot, or a comic book impossible to find elsewhere. The selection is broad: antiquarian books, manga, collectible magazines and journals, fine art books, as well as 45 rpm vinyl, CDs and DVDs for those still committed to physical formats.
What sets this place apart is the rhythm of new stock arriving daily—reason enough to return regularly. Prices remain among the lowest in the neighbourhood, with a solid selection of paperbacks at 2.50€ inside. An unpretentious, family-run address, ideal for curious readers and collectors alike, who understand that the best finds cannot be planned.
« Super magasin où j’adore traîner, et découvrir des pépites. L’équipe est au top et surtout Romain, toujours avec le sourire. Sa gentillesse et son expertise font que je reviendrai ! »
