Librairie Farfouille

Librairie Farfouille is an independent antiquarian and second-hand bookstore located at 27 passage Verdeau in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, France. Founded in 1976, the shop has built a reputation for offering a wide and constantly changing selection of books at reasonable prices. Its stock spans history, old and rare books, literature, fine arts, and a miscellaneous category the owners call 'modeste varia'. Because inventory turns over quickly, the store advises frequent visits to catch new arrivals. The shop operates from a historic covered passage, the Passage Verdeau, a 19th-century glass-roofed arcade that is home to several antiquarian booksellers, galleries, and curiosity shops. Librairie Farfouille is open Monday to Friday from 12:00 to 18:30 and Saturday from 13:00 to 19:00. In addition to in-store browsing, the bookstore holds public sales and offers downloadable catalogues, the most recent listed on its website being dated June 2026. It can be contacted by telephone, fax, or email. As a small independent business, Librairie Farfouille is privately owned and does not disclose financial or ownership details publicly. Its online presence is modest, serving mainly as an informational page for opening hours, location, and catalogue downloads rather than a full e-commerce platform. The store is a member of the community of booksellers in the Passage Verdeau and participates in the broader Parisian antiquarian book trade.
