Perfectly located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, and just a stone's throw from Paris's major universities, the Compagnie bookshop is the ideal haunt for students, researchers and science enthusiasts. Oppositethe Sorbonne, and behind the Collège deFrance, the store specializes in intellectual and academic books: literature from many foreign countries (Italian, German-speaking, American, Spanish, Portuguese-speaking, Russian, African, etc.), essays, philosophy, social sciences, literary theories, critical works and more. The company bookshop is a gold mine, and you only have to look at our photos above to realize just how dense its shelves are.
But that's not all, because librairie compagnie is first and foremost a general bookshop, and the first floor is dedicated to general literature, especially French. There's also a children's and comics section. It's in the basement that the bookshop's academic dimension is revealed. It's a bookshop within a bookshop, and addresses as well-stocked in this area are rare. This makes the Compagnie bookshop the ideal place for specialized research in a particular field. A godsend for local students.
