La Musardine, Bookshop in the 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
La Musardine is a small bookshop in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, focused on books about sexuality, relationships, and personal topics. The shelves hold a mix of new and older titles, along with a small selection of magazines and related items.
La Musardine was founded in the early 1990s by people who wanted to create a space in Paris for open discussion around sexuality and relationships. The shop has stayed in the neighborhood since then and has gradually expanded its selection over the years.
La Musardine is one of the few bookshops in Paris that openly focuses on books about sexuality, relationships, and identity. The window display signals clearly that these subjects are treated here without embarrassment.
The shop sits on a quiet street in the 11th arrondissement and is easy to reach on foot from nearby metro stations. A short visit is usually enough to browse the full selection, though it is easy to linger longer.
La Musardine also runs its own publishing house under the same name. This means that some of the books sold in the shop were actually produced there, giving the visit an extra layer beyond ordinary browsing.
