"Les bouquinistes" are booksellers located on the Seine river banks selling old books and second hand books. Some of them, like this one, also sell tourist items (postcards, Eiffel towers ...). They are part of History in Paris since in 1620 twenty booksellers were already officially authorized to open their little shops near the Seine. If you read French there is a kind of official website for Bouquinistes : Bouquinistes de Paris
My french is at best limited, but I can't resist these stalls when I paas by...
