Marché aux livres anciens du parc Georges-Brassens
Every weekend, the former horse market halls of Parc Georges-Brassens, in the 15th arrondissement, host the second-hand and antiquarian book market, one of the last of its kind in Paris. Around fifty professional booksellers offer novels, comics, engravings and rare editions.
The setting is unique: two 19th-century metal halls crowned with a bell tower, remnants of the old Vaugirard slaughterhouse, in the middle of a bucolic park with beehives and vines.
Tip: Saturday and Sunday, 9 am to 6 pm. Allow 45 minutes of browsing, then stroll through the park, one of the most pleasant in southern Paris.
