Le Comptoir des Lettres

Le Comptoir des Lettres is an independent general-interest bookshop (librairie généraliste) located at 52 Boulevard Saint-Marcel in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, France. It presents itself as a neighborhood bookshop (librairie de quartier) that is attentive to its local roots, a place where customers can linger, seek advice from booksellers, and bring their children. The shop is open every day, including Sundays, from morning to evening, and regularly hosts a varied program of events: author meetings, readings, children's workshops, and debates. A defining feature of the bookshop is its eco-citizen approach (démarche éco-citoyenne). It offers animations and workshops dedicated to environmental questions, positioning itself not only as a retail point for books but also as a community space for ecological engagement. Its inventory spans general literature, children's books, comics (BD), crime fiction (policier), humanities, fine arts, and practical life, as reflected in the specialties of its bookselling team. The team includes Clémence Cochan (former bookseller), Victoria Garelly (director; youth, comics, crime fiction), Flore Humblot (former bookseller), Azélie Carré (former bookseller), Sophia Evezard (former bookseller), Ségolène Meheut (literature), Antoine Sans (humanities, fine arts, practical life), Mace Loic (bookseller), and Cadoret Yann (apprentice bookseller in alternance).
