I<\/span>f walls could talk, they would tell us incredible stories about the passionate readers who have passed through the doors of Librairie Galignani under the archway of the Rue de Rivoli<\/a> since opening in 1856.<\/h5>\n

Yet the story of this mythical place in the 1st arrondissement<\/a> of Paris\u00a0began in Venice in 1520, when Simone Galignani<\/strong> (who is a gentleman) published a book of Latin grammar thanks to the new invention of the printing press. To our delight, the Galignani prospered and traveled to France.<\/p>\n

The house\u2019s reputation is exceptional, with a special affinity for art books<\/strong>. We would have loved to meet Dali<\/strong>, who liked to stay for hours and leaf through pages of beautiful works, or to discuss with one of the Galignanis when he was staying at the Hotel Meurice<\/strong>, its neighbor.<\/p>\n

There are books<\/strong> as far as the eye can see in an elegant and warm setting, illuminated by a period glass<\/strong>. The Shakespearean books have always had a special place in the beautiful wooden bookshelves, French and foreign literature,\u00a0children\u2019s books and coffee-table books also have a place on the shelves\u00a0and the large reading tables. The international clientele is very demanding, but the libraire<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0knows how to satisfy it.<\/p>\n

Millions of references<\/strong> are available, be sharp and ask the impossible questions to these passionate booksellers, they\u2019ll be more than happy to embark on journey to find a rare edition, even an antique. Finally, know that Galignani is the chicest bookshop<\/strong> in Paris, and that it hosts dedication sessions<\/strong>, which are very prized to Parisians and the jet-setters.<\/p>\n

Nothing could be more delightful than to devour the latest novel<\/strong> on a bench under the shade of a chestnut tree in the Tuileries Garden<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Are you coming? You only have to cross the avenue.<\/p>\n
