Bookseller's Stalls

Along the Quai de Montebello, just opposite Notre Dame, are the Bookseller's Stalls. Here you can find all sorts of things: old prints and engravings, old issues of Paris Match, maps, books, comic books, and ``odds and ends.''

The stalls themselves are essentially boxes bolted to the stone wall of the quai. At night, the boxes are locked shut. Although some of their fair is strictly for tourists, the bookseller's stalls should be taken seriously. For the connoisseur, many collector's gems can be found here.
