Located in the 12th arrondissement, on the faubourg Saint-Antoine, L'Arbre à lettres is a favorite address for lovers of all types of literature.

It's a warm and welcoming bookshop that has been brightening up the daily lives of readers in the 12th arrondissement for over 25 years. L'Arbre à lettres is a landmark address not only in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine district, but also in the entire 12th arrondissement, where few addresses are as complete. Here, we sell everything from novels and comics to manga, travel guides and even a children's section.

Ideally located in the heart of the faubourg Saint-Antoine, this very large store is the unmissable cultural pillar of the 12th arrondissement, where the staff are passionate and friendly. What's more, numerous events take place regularly within the walls of the bookshop: book signings, meetings, workshops and children's games, there's something for everyone almost every week.

And if you arrive at the bookshop with no idea of what to buy, you'll find, as in any good bookshop, boxes with the bookseller's opinion, to guide you a little further.
