0fr. Bookshop, galerie, Bookshop and gallery in Le Marais, Paris, France
The 0fr. Bookshop, galerie is a bookshop and gallery space in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, located on Rue Dupetit-Thouars in Le Marais. The shop carries books on art and design alongside international magazines, and its walls serve as a rotating gallery for artists.
Alexandre Thumerelle opened the Librairie 0fr. in Le Marais in 2007, drawing on years of experience organizing events, making short films, and publishing a magazine. Since then, the space has shown the work of hundreds of artists, staying rooted in the same location.
The 0fr. Bookshop is known for its selection of fashion and design magazines displayed on tables just outside the entrance, giving the shop an open, street-facing feel. During Paris fashion week, it draws visitors from around the world who come to browse the latest publications.
The shop is easy to reach on foot from several metro stations in the 3rd arrondissement, in a part of Paris where walking between stops is natural. It is worth setting aside some time, as the shelves reward slow browsing.
Alexandre Thumerelle runs the shop alongside his sister Marie, and together they have kept it as a genuinely family-run space since the beginning. Visitors often find themselves speaking directly with one of the owners, which is rare for a shop in such a sought-after part of Paris.
