For 21 years, L'Amour du noir has been the address of choice for fans of noir novels. In this small bookshop, where all products are second-hand, the walls are lined with pulp, detective and science-fiction novels, as well as long-running series such as San Antonio, Maigret, Fantômas and Bob Morane. And the store is packed to the rafters!
L'Amour du Noir focuses mainly on novels, but there are also a few comic strips and old film magazines. In both cases, the rarities are well worth discovering.
And while classic second-hand items are usually around €2 to €5, the rarer they are, the more expensive they are, of course... But if you're a collector, you're bound to find what you're looking for in this beautiful boutique, ideally located just a few steps from theInstitut du Monde Arabe, in the heart of the Latin Quarter.
L'Amour du Noir is the only second-hand bookshop to specialize in a particular genre, so it's a cutting-edge address where you'll find books you can't find anywhere else. A godsend for lovers of this type of literature, often referred to as "bad genres".
