The CD lives!…read more Record stores with this much charm are rare. This shop is a heaven for music lovers and throwback officianados. Walls and walls of CDs and records surround you in visual organized cacophonic bliss. Also has a lovely book collection with a sweet owner who sits peacefully at the front if the shop to greet you and is not a pushy salesperson at all. Enjoy! It's a rare piece of charm and history.

Very…read morewell organized and good prices. *important to note there are two separate storefronts with separate entrances!* on the left is all things rock and on the right is jazz, soul, R&B, and reggae. Plan to spend a long time crate digging here. Mostly vinyl with a decent amount of CD inventory in the same genres. Best selection and vibes I've encountered in Paris.

Crocodisc's staff are friendly and go out of their way to help you find what you are looking for. They even make great recommendations. I love this store and make sure I visit whenever I'm in Paris.

On the first floor are the records ... There is little space, it is not very large. Finding an album is a bit difficult for reduced space and the amount in each box. With regard to attention, it is not entirely friendly ... but what rescues the place is the amount of albums that can be found. I was here in 2016 but I will return in this 2023, maybe I can add more things.

As far as record stores are concerned, this one gets a passing grade from me. However, I found the…read moreoverall set up to be incredibly cramped and not to be what I expected from the Parisian record store. Basically, there are two floors when you walk in. The bottom filled with equipment, the top stacked with vinyl. I'm not a big guy, but even for someone like me, it was difficult to maneuver through the maze. Of course, I perked up when I came across a rather large selections of the classics: Beatles, Stones, Neil Young, Bowie, etc. Even a few rarities found their way into my rolodex. But for the pressings, the prices didn't add up. I made my way to the contemporary section to find Foo Fighters, Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots. There just wasn't enough to hook me in. Overall, the experience was more of an inconvenience because of the tight space and disorganized set up. There were definitely some good finds, but to me it really wasn't worth my time and effort.

Great record store in Paris, France!…read more My wife and I were seeking out a few good record stores in Paris and ended up here. It's a good size store with a lot of stock and selection. My French is beginner level at best, so I didn't mingle with the staff very much, but I am sure they would have been helpful if I had needed assistance, as pretty much everywhere we went the French people were very friendly and kind. The store is a bit unusual in that it has two store fronts. Pretty cool and unique. The store has a really cool vibe and I would urge you to stop in and pay them a visit should you ever be in The City Of Lights! Then after you shop here, go get some Macarons!

I only went there for the VINYLS! There are few boxes with…read morevinyls but all of them are in good and very good condition, other seem to be new. Few pop ones, most rock, jazz, rap. Prices were from 3 euro above. Some boxes were on the floor and was uncomfortable to browse them because you would occupy the area/isle and the space was tiny. This is very close to Boulinier (9 minutes walking).

I could (and did) spend hours here. There are so many books to look at and it's absolutely amazing…read more They've got quite a selection of first editions. Just incredible. The shop opened in the 50s by an American called George Whitman and he initially named it Le Mistral. I believe the name changed in the 60s to what we know it as today. As a fan of literature, Shakespeare and Company is like Mecca. The Holy Grail, if you will. Whether you stick downstairs where it gets busy or upstairs where it's for more of a library feel, it's simply a magical experience. An experience that transcends you into the pages of your favorite novel or book of poetry. A timeless, nostalgic, and electric adventure awaits you.

Shakespeare and Company is one of the notorious Global booksellers. It is located in Paris, on the…read moreRiver Seine across from Notre Dame (you really can't miss it), and there seems to be a block-long queue everyday, anytime it's open. Founded by Sylvia Beach in 1919, it was a hangout for many American and British writers when they lived in Paris. Like any great bookstore, this retail establishment has an impressive inventory of books in English, in all major categories: Children's literature, classics, culinary, culture, economics, history, politics, travel, etc, etc. We checked 4 different days, and finally got in on our fifth try. The shop is a labyrinth of interconnected rooms, and actually takes up nearly a whole block. The check-out clerks will stamp your books with the Shakespeare & Co logo and name; so it's fun to gift a classic, like Winnie the Pooh, to your grandkids. And there is a cafe next door where you can sit and enjoy your purchases. Read up on the Tumbleweeds.
