Artazart<br />
Artazart first caught my eye as I walked out of Marcel’s on the Canal Saint-Martin about<br />
a year ago. Its friendly graffiti-feel red façade across the water promised an artsy<br />
experience - and I am all about the experience - and it was. Seventeen years ago the<br />
bookshop started out selling art books only, but later design, photography, architecture,<br />
and a très originale children’s section were added to its repertoire. Their appreciation for<br />
the avant-garde began to attract alternative publishers, which translates into a trove of<br />
some of the most creative content you’ll ever leaf through. While their kids' books are<br />
primarily in French, many feature pop-up cut-outs, which make them coveted by parents<br />
and grand-parents from all language backgrounds. Artazart’s location on the canal,<br />
smack in the middle of many fabuleux places to eat, drink, and hang, will turn a visit to<br />
this intimate librairie into an outing.<br />
