Newspaper kiosk in Paris



For many of you in Paris now, or planning to visit the city while winter is in the air, wandering its streets can bring one special joy: stumbling upon an old-style newspaper and magazine kiosk.

These ‘print gazebos‘, adorned with vibrant posters and boasting an array of in ternational papers and magazines, stand as timeless sentinels of information as crisp, noble page-turners. It’s raising a glass to the nobility of print.

The scent of freshly printed paper mingles with the aroma of nearby bakeries, creating an olfactory dish that enhances the experience. The kiosk itself, often a vintage masterpiece, becomes a visual feast with its meticulously arranged magazines, newspapers and postcards. Buy a paper or magazine, tuck it under your arm, and settle down in an outdoor cafe to savour it with a cup of espresso or a glass of house Beaujolais.

Be Hemingway, and gaze up from your newspaper to catch the modern-day flaneurs pass by. Be Jean-Paul Belmondo in Breathless and take a peek from behind your International Herald Tribune. Not digital, but the crisp-as-January air print edition.
