Artazart
Artazart is a bookshop in Paris's 10th district specializing in books about design, photography, and illustration, along with art magazines and prints. The space functions as both a bookstore and gallery, regularly displaying works by local artists within its compact but carefully curated layout.
The shop opened approximately 25 years ago and has maintained its spirit of curiosity while evolving with creative trends. What began as a destination for designers and artists seeking hard-to-find books has grown into a popular spot for travelers and locals alike.
The shop's name, Artazart, expresses a blend of craft and design philosophy reflected in its curation. It serves as a gathering point for those drawn to visual culture and embodies the creative spirit of the Canal Saint-Martin neighborhood.
Located on Quai de Valmy along the canal, the shop opens daily, typically from late morning to early evening, with extended hours on weekdays. The compact maze-like layout makes browsing relaxed and easy, and the friendly staff are happy to help with questions or recommendations.
The shop celebrated its 25th anniversary with a major event bringing together many illustrators to share their work around a celebration theme, with music and refreshments. This kind of gathering reveals how the space extends beyond simple retail to foster genuine connections between artists and visitors.
