I died and went to book heaven! 6 floors of grateness! The biggest and best bookstore I've ever been to. I spent pretty much an entire day and was as happy as a clam. Their language section is HUGE! I guess the biggest issue would be finding resources to learn a language from English. It is France, so the majority of it is in French (not a problem for me as I'm fully bilingual). I'd never seen so many issues of The Little Prince in so many languages under the same roof. They even had bilingual versions! I would have spent an ungodly amount if I didn't have to think about the weight being added to my suitcase. They also have a large English section on the 4th floor. I found all the random titles that came to mind. If you're a book lover, this is your Paris paradise!

Cet après midi, une personne qui ne pouvait pas se déplacer m'a demandé d'aller regarder des livres de français à Gibert Jeune. Elle m'a demandé de prendre en photo la table des matières de 2 livres pour savoir si ça pouvait lui convenir. Lors de la dernière photo un vigile a refermé le livre en me disant "qu'un livre ça se photographiait fermé". J'ai essayé de lui expliquer que c'était pour une amie et il m'a répondu "c'est ça une amie ... Plein de gens font ça". Les gens autour de moi, choqués, ont dit au vigile que ce n'était pas très gentil. Je suis alors parti voir le vigile pour lui montrer mes photos mais il n'a pas souhaité les regarder "c'est bon, c'est bon ...". Je lui ai répondu "que je ne voulais pas passer pour une personne que je ne suis pas" Extrêmement choqué par cette intervention j'ai donc laissé pour 60E de manuels et je suis parti. En 2 mois j'avais acheté pour 200E de livres similaires pour cette personne dans ce magasin. Je suis bien évidemment d'accord qu'une oeuvre en librairie ne se photographie pas ... Ms je ne vois vraiment pas en quoi j'ai mal agi en prenant en photo la table des matières de livres que je souhaitais acheter par la suite ! M'étant senti humilié en public, j'espère que des mesures seront prises car c'est scandaleux, d'autant plus que je venais pour aider une personne. En attendant un accueil humain et respectueux du client, je ferai dorénavant mes achats à la FNAC

I spent over 5 hours in the place. It's amazing! Well organized, friendly, and helpful staff. Honestly, it's the best bookstore I've ever been to. It's going to be hard to top.
