Les Mots à la Bouche stands as a cornerstone LGBTQ+ bookstore in Paris, nestled in the vibrant 11th arrondissement near Père-Lachaise. Spanning two floors, it boasts an extensive collection of about 15,000 titles, featuring queer novels, essays, and non-fiction on topics like trans identities, gender, and queer history.
The atmosphere is welcoming and intimate, fostered by a cooperative of dedicated booksellers who provide tailored recommendations. Patrons discover classics by authors such as Judith Butler, Virginie Despentes, and James Baldwin alongside contemporary releases, mangas, DVDs, and international works. Regular readings and book launches in the ground floor space encourage cultural dialogue in a rainbow-hued setting. Beyond books, the shop serves as a vital hub for community connection and inspiration.
