Bouquinistes Stands - Paris
People look at books and posters as they walk past a "bouquinistes" stand selling antique books and old posters near bank of the Seine River in Paris, on November 19, 2023. Parisian booksellers, the world's largest open-air bookshop, who have been operating on the banks of the Seine for 450 years, are refusing to be moved by the authorities to provide security for the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Installed along more than three kilometres of the Seine and declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, the 240 bouquinistes make use of 900 green boxes to house some 300,000 old books and a great number of journals, stamps and trading cards.
