At Tout Lire, Bookshop in the 20th arrondissement, Paris, France
À Tout Lire is a bookshop in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, situated between the Pelleport and Saint-Fargeau neighborhoods. It spreads across two floors and carries a wide range of categories, from paperbacks and literature to art books, comics, and a separate room for children's books.
À Tout Lire has been part of the neighborhood for many years and has become a familiar stop for readers in the 20th arrondissement over that time. The shop has kept its character through the changes brought by digital books and shifts in the Paris bookselling scene.
The shop dedicates part of its shelves to local authors and books about Paris, which visitors can browse alongside the general selection. It occasionally hosts book signings and small readings, bringing together readers and writers in a relaxed setting.
The shop is easy to reach by public transport, and the surrounding streets have cafes and small restaurants nearby. Books can be ordered in advance by email or phone and collected from the store starting from eleven in the morning.
During periods when the shop was closed to regular visitors, the staff handed out pre-ordered books directly at the entrance so customers could collect their orders at the door. This straightforward solution shows how the team worked to keep readers connected to their books even when normal opening was not possible.
