Portraits of booksellers by Alain Cornu, Paris



French photographer Alain Cornu photographed nearly 170 booksellers in Paris between 2021 and 2024 – mostly the bouquinistes along the river Seine and their distinctive green boxes.

The Paris Booksellers’ Cultural Association is holding an exhibition of the first photographs of their guild, taken by photographer Alain Cornu. The exhibition, “Portraits of Booksellers” – “Portraits de Bouquinistes” – is in the Town Hall of the 6th arrondissement from 14 March to 2 April 2025.

The exhibition was organized in partnership with the Festival Committee, Cultural and Social Action of the 6th arrondissement of Paris.
