Librairie Parentheses
Description
This comfortably crowded bookshop is the place for that daily dose of all things French. Magazines, daily newspapers, music CDs and a well-stocked video corner are this shop's big draw. Best-sellers, novels with Hong Kong and Chinese themes, guidebooks concentrating on Asia and France and cookbooks highlighting French and Asian styles fill the shelves. Comic books for all ages, as well as children's books are also available. All books are by French authors or translated into French from the original. Orders are accepted and placed weekly.
I'm really impressed by how well-stocked this shop is. It certainly inspired me to get reading French again. The only problem was choosing which book to take home with me. I also like the feel of the shop. It was just like being back in France. Well done on a great shop!
If a trip to Parenthese doesn't bring back childhood memories, I don't know what does... They also happen to have an excellent selection of books, cds and dvds. Enjoy!
The positive point is that u can have the latest books and reviews published in France + many classics. The bad thing is that u have to pay a surcharge which can be very high coz everything is coming from France!
