Situated right on Canal Saint-Martin, Artazart is near and dear to my heart. It’s one of the first places I discovered when I came to Paris on my own in early 2018, and I find myself back there at least once every few months.
It’s a design bookstore, broadly, but their beautifully curated selection features everything from photography to gardens to tattoos to food, offering something for everyone. It’s my go-to for gift shopping because I know they’ll have titles that I won’t find elsewhere.
My fiancé got me a gorgeous book on color from Artazart that I page through anytime I need inspiration or just a shot of something pretty. And there’s an adorable children’s section if you have little ones in your life.
If you’re traveling and don’t want to lug home a coffee table book, they have plenty of suitcase-friendly things too: locally-designed paper goods, art prints, unique magazines, and cool Paris guides. You’ll find yourself spending a long time browsing in the mazelike, visually stimulating boutique.
The surrounding neighborhood is one of Paris’s hippest hotspots, so you can pass a whole day between Artazart and the nearby boutiques, cafés, and bars. Make sure to wander the side streets around the Canal Saint-Martin and you’ll make some cool discoveries.
