The Red Wheelbarrow Bookstore

The Red Wheelbarrow Bookstore is an independently owned and run anglophone bookshop on rue de Médicis opposite the Jardin Luxembourg in the Latin Quarter of Paris, France. The bookstore originally opened in 2001 on the right bank in the Marais district. It closed in 2012 and reopened in 2018 on the left bank. In 2021 the bookshop opened a second location on the same street in the famous José Corti bookshop and turned the original bookshop on rue de Medicis into The Red Balloon - a French and English children's bookshop. The bookshop is named after the poem The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams which was first published in Spring and in 1923 by Robert McAlmon's Contact Publishing and printed by Darantière - the same printer who had printed Ulysses for Sylvia Beach of the original Shakespeare and Co on rue de l'Odéon in 1922.
