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.

There are very few LGBTQ bookstore left anywhere in the world, and maybe only a city as large and as intellectually active as Paris can sustain one. Les mots à la bouche has everything a gay reader could wish: social theory and the history of drag, emerging queer novelists and the inspiring works of James Baldwin, Gertrude Stein, Edmund White, Jean Cocteau. It is the one indispensable stop for the queer traveler/ reader in Paris. Plenty of books in English, too. Afterwards you can go to Père Lachaise and drop in on Oscar Wilde. Dear Oscar. How he would have loved this shop. How he would have cruised the boys who come here

Probably one of the best music stores I have ever been too, Gibert stocks a staggering selection of…read moremusic from France, Africa, Britain, America, and well beyond. Located near St Michel metro, the store is very close to the Latin Quarter as well as the Jardins de Luxembourg. Dealing in more than genres, Gibert has the ability to find you browsing for hours as you move from Reggae to Rock to Avant-Garde to Celtic to pretty much anything else. But it gets even better, as they also stock a lot of very well-priced 2nd-hand music and also deal in hard-to-find music magazines (such as Punk Planet) at very reasonable prices. Worth setting aside an hour or two for during your visit to Paris if you can, Gibert is one place you'll remember fondly long after leaving the city.

My husband was super excited about our trip to Europe because he wanted to shop at local record…read morestores. Out of all of the stores we visited, I think Betino's was his favorite. It's not a big store but it's well-organized and inviting. Betino himself is also inviting, welcoming us into the store, asking what we were interested in and having a long conversation with my husband about music (it was so long that I got really bored and went down the street for a coffee). Once Betino got a feel for what we wanted, he spent the better part of an hour pulling albums and making recommendations for my husband. He let him take his time, listen to everything, etc. He even stayed open late for us so we could finish up. We wound up buying several albums. He gave us some swag (a Betino's shopping bag, some stickers, etc) and was everything you'd want in a local record shop owner. Great guy and great little store.
