Match your mood for a stroll along the Seine: on the right bank from the Pont Marie to the Quai du Louvre, and on the left bank from Quai de la Tournelle to Quai Voltaire. Past the famous Parisian booksellers and their stalls, known as bouquinistes.

Step out in style in the perfect pair of jeans to fit your spirit. Bring out the basics: tank or T-shirt worn with an easy pair of ballet flats. The bouquinistes are open from sunrise to sunset and you’ll be wearing them from dawn to dusk leisurely searching for hidden treasures. Leave fashion at home and opt for a great satchel to tote a leather-bound antique book with exquisite engravings or second-hand contemporary novel, magazines, collector’s stamps, antique postcards and bric-à-brac; a first edition of Colette’s Gigi from 1944? Lucky you!
