This place is such a vibe. Welcoming in it's friendliness and artfully-selected queer literature. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. I love the super cute handwritten recommendations for both French and English sections. Great selection of fiction, nonfiction, and books with beautiful imagery.

I stumbled upon this gem of a bookstore while passing by, and it's a delightful haven for bibliophiles in search of diverse voices and a welcoming sense of community. On my favorite list <3

I have been visiting this library for many years every time I am in Paris. The staff is always so kind and helpful whenever I ask them for recommendations. They have a very large offering, from classics to lesser known authors. Can't find a book? they will order it for you. A must-go for anyone into LGBTQIA+ literature. Merci beaucoup pour votre travail si important :)

I like the layout of the store as well as the vast array of books(both English and French, as well as academic and entertaining) one can obtain here. The topics are varied and anyone who is in need of a good present for your LGBT buddy or for someone who needs enlightenment, should go here for information. I had to go back and get something for me and a friend. Contact information on there website. Photos will get me in trouble, so go and check it out for yourself.

I've always been disappointed in gay bookstores but this one had a very sophisticated selection on various gay interests as well as a nice selection on traditionally related interests (fashion, decoration, and etc.) Staff was very friendly too and fluent in English. My only only irritation was the fact that the two titles I purchased were only available in display copies and they were initially reluctant to part with one of them and then I was only given a 5% discount. Still, it was a pleasant shopping experience.
