The Red Wheelbarrow Bookstore

The Red Wheelbarrow occupies two addresses on rue de Médicis across from the Luxembourg Gardens, an English-language bookshop that has anchored Paris's Left Bank literary scene since opening in the Marais in 2001. Alongside its adult store at no. 11, no. 9 now houses The Red Balloon, its bilingual children's offshoot, and both host a steady calendar of author readings and poetry nights.
