Booksellers in Paris have hit out at plans to “hide” them during the 2024 Olympics, after they were told by local authorities to remove their stalls for the opening ceremony for security reasons.

The bouquinistes along the River Seine make up the largest open-air book market in Europe and represent a 400-year-old tradition.

Paris booksellers angry at plans to ‘hide’ their stalls during Olympics

About 60% of bouquinistes along the Seine River will be moved on during the Games next year for security reasons

#Bookstalls, #Paris, #France

I always associate these #bookstalls with the Seine near #NotreDame. I enjoy browsing the titles in many languages and genres. People watching is also a fun activity here.
