Le Genre Urbain
Located halfway up the sloping Rue de Belleville, Le Genre Urbain is more than just a bookshop - it's a cultural hub, championing a thoughtful, sustainable approach to city living. Inside you'll find a huge range of books and graphic novels, mostly in French, but still enjoyable to browse. It's the kind of place where you could spend hours shuffling around the aisles and nobody would mind at all.
