There is a lovely park near our apartment and on the weekends, they have a book market in the old horse stables.  It's a great way to spend part of the day. 

Most all of the books are written in french.  I search threw the many titles, the vast majority are unfamiliar to me.  I enjoy picking up the dusty, crackled books, gently opening the gardening books, looking at the illustrations.  I love the different colors that age has developed over time on the leather covers.....

I especially like the old primary readers and lessons for children.  I wonder how many little hands have held them, eager to learn. 

The idea of old books nestled together on a small table purely for the design element makes me smile.......

If you are in Paris and want to visit this market.  It is located in Parc George Brassens in the horse stables at 87 rue brancion, 75015.  It is called the Marche aux livres and is open every Saturday and Sunday from 9:30am until 6pm..
