Located on the Place de la Sorbonne, just a few meters from the famous university in the 5th arrondissement, the J. Vrin philosophical bookshop is just the place for students. Specializing in philosophical literature, you'll find new andsecond-hand books on this broad theme. Anything that has anything to do with philosophy will be sold within the walls of this magnificent century-old bookshop. With its beautiful semi-circular structure and calm atmosphere, it's as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the mind.
Open since 1911, the J. Vrin is a historic address in the Latin Quarter that never lets up. Its proximity to the Sorbonne makes it a popular spot for researchers, intellectuals and, of course, students. For the latter, the bookshop is a must!
