3 Rue Soufflot, 75005 Paris
Shakespeare and Company
Located a stone's throw from Notre-Dame and which has positioned itself for so long as the temple of English-speaking literature in Paris. A look back at the little history of this unmissable Parisian bookstore!
Originally, it was Sylvia Beach, an American bookseller and publisher, who created the first Shakespeare and Company in 1919. This temple of books first moved to rue Dupuytren and then to 12 rue de l'Odéon. Over the years, many intellectuals went there, such as Man Ray, Gertrude Stein, André Gide, Paul Valéry, Ernest Hemingway... Our American woman thus occupied a large place in Anglo-Saxon literature, since it was she who notably published for the first time James Joyce's Ulysses in 1922

Deyrolle
To escape the Parisian frenzy, this shop presents itself as the ideal refuge, provided you do not freak out in front of the sharp fangs of a fox and the head of a rhinoceros which springs from the wall. In fact, the Deyrolle house specialized in taxidermy (so to speak, the art of making dead animals look alive) and in entomology (which is the study of insects). When it was created in 1831, it became the reference in terms of educational material: the publication of wall charts and specialized works, covering various themes (zoology, botany, geography, human anatomy, geology, etc.) earned it a great success with schools and universities around the world.

Boucherie D. Chainay
His shop with marble-covered walls dates from 1912.

1234 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin, 75010 Paris
A La Providence
The soul of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine
We enter "A la providence" as in a time machine which would take us back almost two centuries earlier, in 1840, to the time when the faubourg was still the territory of craftsmen and cabinetmakers and the hardware store Leclercq opened its doors.
This old-fashioned hardware store offers decorative hardware, including locks and cremone bolts.
151 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, 75011 Paris
Produits d'Auvergne
Chez Teil, the old patinated shop has seen many visitors and it is easy to imagine the old Paris, that of La Bastoche, coming to stock up on cold cuts. The hams, sausages and sausages are always well hung, and the preserves well aligned, tripous and other typical dishes, but also Ardèche chestnuts, honey, lentils from Puy, liqueurs and cream, gentian from Velay or Salers...

Gaignard Millon
Established in Paris for more than 130 years in the Faubourg Saint Antoine, a district of furniture craftsmen
24 Rue Jules Vallès, 75011 Paris
Boulangerie Bo
The Bazin bakery has become the BO bakery. "B", like Benoît Gindre and "O", like Olivier Haustraete who took over this historic shop. These two craftsmen have kept the magnificent old-fashioned storefront while adding a number of new features. Customers in the neighborhood were quickly seduced by the “youngsters”. They have kept Jacques Bazin's farmer's bread with millstone flour and natural leaven, available with grapes, walnuts, hazelnuts, figs, almonds, etc. but they put their signature to it by creating the “neighbours' bread”, a bread of character which combines rye, buckwheat and wheat flour, on a natural sourdough base.
85bis Rue de Charenton, 75012 Paris
Laverdure
At the beginning of the 20th century, in the Faubourg Saint Antoine district, Louis Laverdure bought a glue and varnish shop from a certain Monsieur Aubry. This is the time when you can hear the clatter of horses' hooves on the cobblestones of the Parisian streets, the time when craftsmen, nobles and the elegant women of the Parisian bourgeoisie rub shoulders... The Roaring Twenties see them crowding on this neighborhood where many craftsmen excel. Each courtyard of a building has its cabinetmaker, but also its color designer, and even its varnisher… It's the golden age. The interiors offer parquet floors that splash light, furniture that reflects the sun... Parquet floors and furniture are polished and cared for by these artists who transform the smallest object into a work of art. And it is in the heart of Paris, in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, that the most beautiful works of art restorers, gilders and craftsmen take shape.
58 Rue Traversiere, 75012 Paris
Chocolatier Serving
This venerable house founded in 1913 is located close to the church of Auteuil.
