Bookshop
Hôtel de Sully bookshop
The bookshop is situated between the courtyard and garden of the Hôtel de Sully, a splendid example of Renaissance architecture in which Henri IV's celebrated minister lived out his last days. The site is open every day, including Sunday, and attracts an international clientele, as much for the beauty of the spot as for its exceptional collection of books.
The bookshop aims to cover the wealth of French national heritage, including the full range of titles published by Editions du Patrimoine and a selection of specialized publications, unrivalled in all of France.
This rich collection is organised partly by region, highlighting a number of small book publishers whose limited editions cannot be found elsewhere. A significant section is devoted to Paris alone.
Cross-classification of titles by theme facilitates a deeper inquiry into each subject, whether it be history, architecture, fine arts, design, literature, gardens or photography. All readers passionate about French heritage throughout the ages will find everything they could wish for.
Far from concentrating uniquely on the past, however, the bookshop holds debates on contemporary artistic and literary endeavours, architecture, and urban development, inviting those actively engaged in contributing to the future heritage of France. Whether amateur or specialist, casual passer-by or intentional visitor, everyone from far and wide will delight in the wonderful choice of books found in this tranquil spot. Orders may also be placed with our booksellers who, if requested, will mail them to customers.
This unique space with clearly displayed books and carefully selected new titles will surprise and delight all readers, including children. A special section for young readers offers appealing items, chosen with the same care and enthusiasm. Our adjoining garden, or the neighbouring Place des Vosges, provides a peaceful respite after your visit.
The bookshop is open daily, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
