CrocoDisc

Crocodisc is my favorite vinyl record store in Paris. I've visited it for the first time in 2023 and again last month. They have a wonderful selection of French disco ( I can't get enough of it!), soul, funk and reggae. The staff is fun and kind and try to make an effort to communicate in other language than French, be patient! Will come back every time I visit Paris :)

Wow! This is a supermegacoool vynil shop. I have visited vynil shops in 4 continents and this hits the top 5! The owners are incredibly helpful and they know all the stuff they have (believe me, a lot!!!). I found some rarities of manouche jazz technically not available elsewhere and I could have spent 5 more hours there if I had time. Great great place, in a great location (latin neighborhood) that reminds me my phd years at Jussieu. Certainly a plus 😀

Update July 2025 Third year in a row maybe to the day again. Met Christopher, Xavier and the inimitable Philippe. Bought loads. Hopefully will be back. Back after exactly one year- to the day. Pleasure dealing with Philippe again. Last year I was just getting into vinyl so spent a lot of time picking up stuff. This visit was quick but rewarding. Bought a lot and some difficult to find- Big Brother & The Holding Company etc. Thank you again. Not sure what to write. This place blew me away. They have 2 shops next to each other. They have so many LPs I am not sure how the folks there keep track. It’s all in their heads. Not only if they have it but also where they are kept. Spent almost 2 hours. Bought a lot of vinyls- shipping them to Dubai. Not cheap - either the vinyls or the shipping- but worth it. Got a lot of Jeff Beck, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Smith and more. You have to visit if you are in Paris.

It isn't very often that I leave a review, but this place has earned it. From hip-hop to rock they have it here, the staff here is very knowledgeable about their music and catalogue. I like a bit of hip-hop and we were amazingly helped by a man who knew everything about it. He also suggested a few albums and let us listen to some songs from the vinyls we were interested in. Overall it was an amazing experience and I would recommend for every vinyl lover to visit here in the crocodisc.

Had a long weekend in Paris and decided to visit this shop. Good selection of jazz and reggae. However, I felt like I was an unwelcome inconvenience. Browsing pretty much impossible due to how ridiculously tight the records are packed in the racks. I had one record lying on top of the racks that I was intending to buy - I couldn’t hold onto it because my arm was in a sling due to a broken shoulder - the staff member approached me aggressively telling me to put it back in alphabetical order! Don’t you want customers to purchase records? I can read the signs and know that you want to keep them in order. Did purchase in the end but not a pleasant experience.

It was my first and last time in this place. The staff were very unpleasant. I was looking at the records, and since it’s very cramped there, it was hard to browse them, so I took some out and didn’t put them back in alphabetical order. I saw that the person next to me was browsing that way, so I followed their example. I understand that what I did was wrong, but I didn’t know it was such a big problem that they would yell at me and insult me. I understand being corrected, every shop has its own rules. But the man shouted at me, and three people were insulting me, even though I apologized four times. As I said before, I didn’t know the records in the drawer were alphabetically arranged. There’s a good selection, but I didn’t expect such a reaction over such a small thing, so I don’t recommend this place, because mocking and insulting a customer is unacceptable. People make mistakes...

Great experience as an American in Paris. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. My husband and I can't help but to look for things we would usually enjoy but a French equivalent and they totally delivered.

Great selection here. Don’t forget that the guys have two CROCO shops back to back with separate entrances. The once with disco/funk/hip-hop stuff is great. All records are in alphabetical order, you even might find an old record which is still sealed and it won’t cost a fortune. Once again: great selection, friendly staff + good condition of the records they sell. They might need a bigger space though...
