Tout-Art Gallery, Bookshop in the 14th arrondissement, Paris, France
Salon Tout-Art is a bookshop at 182 rue du Château in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, carrying both new and secondhand books on art, literature, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and politics. The wooden shelves and soft lighting give the small space a calm, personal feel that sets it apart from larger stores.
The shop has been part of the neighborhood around rue du Château for many years, gradually becoming a reference point for people interested in art and literature. In 2001, it started carrying Mettray, a literary magazine founded by Didier Morin that publishes archive material, new writing, and interviews with artists and writers.
Salon Tout-Art draws local artists, collectors, and curious readers who come back regularly to browse and chat with the owner. The personal curation of the shelves gives the shop a character that reflects a genuine love for art and the printed word.
Visiting in the afternoon is a good idea, as the shop tends to be quieter and the owner is often free to talk about the books on offer. The shop sits in a calmer part of the 14th arrondissement and is easy to reach on foot from nearby streets.
The magazine Mettray, sold in the shop, is printed in black and white with no hardcover and includes contributions from poets, photographers, and filmmakers alongside written interviews. Back issues occasionally surface on the shelves, making them sought-after finds for collectors who visit regularly.
