The fictional detective Victor Legris, created by Claude Izner (see previous posts) has a bookstore in the Rue des Saints Peres. In the 19th century, this street which runs from the left bank of the Seine to the Boulevard Saint Germain and beyond, may have had lots of bookshops because it is close to the Ecole des Beaux Arts. We couldn’t find any there now, except for one small store selling magazines and tobacco and pipes.
