Venue Detail
Les Mots a la Bouche
About this venue
Les Mots à la Bouche is Paris’s queer bookshop with actual cultural weight: not a souvenir shelf, but a place to browse fiction, theory, comics, photography and films, then leave with a title you did not know you needed. It has moved to Saint-Ambroise, so the old Marais address must not send anyone on a dead-end walk.
Practical details
Address: 37 rue Saint-Ambroise, 75011 Paris, France
Hours: Daily 10:30–19:30.

Venue intelligence
Know before you go
What you’ll find
Queer literature, essays, comics, photography and film, with a physical shop open daily at the published Saint-Ambroise address.
Best time to browse
Best time to browse is any day from 10:30 to 19:30; use the current programme for launches or talks rather than guessing at an event night.
Online store & international shipping
The physical shop is a queer cultural institution with readers, researchers and people seeking lesbian, gay, bi and trans literature; the operator does not publish a useful locals-versus-visitors count.
Payment methods
There is no dress code for browsing a bookshop. Come as you are; the practical preparation is the current Saint-Ambroise address, not an old Marais location.
Privacy & inclusion
Les Mots à la Bouche is explicitly LGBTQ+ cultural retail. The reviewed source does not publish a detailed staff policy, so the card does not manufacture one.
