80 Vinyl Record Stores in Paris

It was formerly A1 which closed in New York Serves maté: A+ Privileges American discs imported from US and in consequence, North American genres (the soca selection was interesting)

A small but great record store. Lots of black music. Only vinyl.

Probably the best record store ever.. especially during fête de la musique.. yes, music day is an obsession :)

My personal favorite record store in Paris. 3 bests: Best staff, best records, best prices!

La classe! Super selection. One of the best vinyl shops in Paris

A lovely and cosy vinyl shop in Paris, the owner is very informed and helpful, he is generous to give advice when he is asked, whether regarding records or turntables, amps.. Etc. , he even helped me to install a new stylus, and he did all the calibration free of charge. I love this place.

One of the best record stores I've found in Paris. Varied selection, clean vinyl, fair prices and above all a friendly owner!

Great collection and very friendly-will shop again

Advertised they were open on Sunday. They are not. When I commented I had a gracious reply so edited my comment.

Very nice ! Good selection, not too pricy and very polite helpful service

Minimalistic and aesthetic record store located in not very crowded street. They have nice collections of the vintage music from all genres. You can listen to the records with their vinyle players which has pretty high quality.

Gee, what a great shop. Lots of goodness here. Quality varies and is more-or-less indicated by the price. Generally. A bunch of new titles. Broad vision across all genres, tending alt-wards, improv, noise, ambient, jazz, krautrock, folk - all the good stuff. Limited time frame - wish I had the time to stay longer.

My favourite record store in Paris, if not the world. Have found some amazing stuff here each time I visit. Great house, deep house, jazz, hip hop, soul and disco. Listening stations are decent. Pricing is really fair.

First time at this beautiful record store. It's ever so slightly off my usual beaten track, but was worth the visit. It's one of the larger stores in and around the 11th arrondissement. There's a great wall with a great mix of genres. But in general this is a store for soul, funk, experimental, rare groove and jazz. There were some new LPs, but the focus is mostly on used records. It feels like I went on an off day, but I suspect they have great used drops here for the weekend. It's not as well stocked as some other nearby stores but you can find things here that I haven't seen elsewhere in the city. So rare record collectors should make an effort to visit.

Over 10 years ago, I visited L’International Records by coincidence. Since then, every time I’m in Paris, my first stop for records has always been whatever the latest incarnation from the same amazing folks is. These days, it’s BABALUMA! The collection is deep, diverse, and beautifully curated. You’ll find old gems and new discoveries, all at fair prices. The vibe is always welcoming, and the digging experience is a total joy. I always get great recs from the owners. Highly recommend!

Came here without anything specific in mind and ended up spending almost an hour digging through the incredibly well-organized shelves. The selection is amazing, with plenty of choices at reasonable prices. There are even two cats wandering around, checking you out while you browse the vinyl. Such a fun touch! I’m pretty sure anyone who visits will find something they love 💕

A great Record Store in Paris! The vibe is what a real record store should be, they got shirts for sale and even books! A wide variety of albums and artists from around the globe, most of them are new pressed, bought my Nina Simone and James brown back there and hopefully I'll get more albums and jazz records next time!

This is a must visit if you are into vinyls. Obviously a huge part of their offer is french artist within different genres. But their international rap/hiphop section is superb curated too. You will find everything from Kendrick, Nas, Dr Dre, Eminem to MF Doom, Madlib and Benny the Butcher.

A person who I met at a concert recommended this record store to me while I was in Paris. It's a real gem! They have a large selection of both used and new vinyl (and tapes and CD's). The store is really packed with music and it's so nice to go through all the records to find your favorite music! I will come back next time I'm in Paris because there is still more music to discover! Staff is very friendy

It was a wonderful experience visiting this unique vinyl store! The salespeople did everything they could to help me find unique, rare disco and house records, and they also helped me choose new releases and find some very rare items! I'll be happy to return many times.

Great selection of vinyls and cds. Stuff was great too.

This is a MUST for movie physical media collectors ! There is SOOOO many movies in different forms ( dvd, blu ray, 4Ks, SteelBooks, especial edition, collector editions) from all around the world. I was so happy to come across this shop cause I love collection physical media so the fact that I could see many movies in English made me so happy. Their collection is INSANE! I hope the best for this business. Everyone needs to come here.

In addition to FNAC stores, this particular store has become my preferred destination for browsing and/or buying films on Blu-Ray, DVD, and 4K in Paris. Its sizable sections dedicated to French Cinema, World Cinema, Independent, and Mainstream films offer a diverse and comprehensive selection.

absolutely amazing!!! went there with a friend on my first trip to paris, she's into stationary (downstairs) and I'm into music (upstairs) and both of us found an amazing selection. the staff were great too-- I asked them for french vinyl recommendations in my very broken french and they were super understanding and helpful. I just got home and listened to the album they gave me-- symphonies des eclairs-- and it was exactly what I wanted, a good mix of different genres and very artistic and cool. if anyone from the store sees this, tell the guy at the desk the little american girl he helped last week is forever greatful!!

Stopped in while on tour in Europe 2013 . Not surprisingly a release from our label SIX2SIX Records was on display. Two different occasions a Constant Deviants album was on the shelves. ~ merci beaucoup!

Tourist review: Awesome store, they have collections of jazz and rock to cooler stuff like edm, afro, drum samples, house, techno, etc. They also let you use the turntables there to listen to what you chose. P.S. You can barter your way down lol 👀

Awesome store! I collect records, but know nothing about French music. I shared this with the shop man and he instantly pulled out some recommendations, even playing samples for me. I LOVE all of my new albums and can’t wait to get them home to listen. A highlight of my trip to Paris, for sure. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend.

Came as he was closing up but when we had asked for some help looking for French house recommendations, he was happy to keep the shop open for a bit to let us listen to the 8-10 records he recommended. Such a highlight of our trip to Paris. Would go again to check out the rest of his collection including the whole other side of the room and the back room which looked to have a decent selection of hip hop and jazz

Literally chose this place just because it was near my hotel in Paris and it did not disappoint for a moment. Plenty of second hand records and the owners are ridiculously knowledgable. They have a pair of turntables where you can test out records. I got to put together a dozen records to test out looking for rare sounds and random samples that I just wanted to dig. I was there for at least 30-40 minutes while they played some classic 80s funk at a good volume to not overload the senses while I dug. Records were well-priced and really happy with my selection. Hope to come back and spend a few hours in there one day digging.

Betino was helpful and knowledgeable about French no wave music. He played several records for me and his intuition about my taste was spot on. He even recommended a couple of other stores that turned out to be good. My favorite record store out of the dozen I went to in Paris!

Went here during a trip to Paris two weeks ago with my partner and we had such an incredible time. Samuel (if I remember correctly) was delighted to share in his wide knowledge of French and other music. With rain starting to fall outside, we got deep in conversation and spun record after record, exchanging anecdotes and enthusiasm. I had an interest in French film soundtracks and so ended up learning a lot about these and even picking one up. Was one of the highlights of a week long trip to Paris as music lovers and completely made our day. Will be back! Love from Ireland.

Very good choose and man very helpful with everything. He try to understand the taste of my boyfriend and help me choose the vinyl he will like . Thank you so much 🫶🏻

This is an amazing record place, very friendly owner who upon entering the shop swiftly comes over to say hi and explain how the sections are sorted. Really great collection of jazz records, they're a bit pricier than other shops, but were originals in a superb condition so definitely worth its price. This made it to my list of personal best record stores.

Super quaint vinyl store focused on Jazz, with a good selection of pop, rock, and French artists as well. Owner is super friendly and welcoming; just a nice experience with great options and expert service

Walked in knowing nothing about records or what I wanted — Samuel was super helpful and friendly in suggesting records and playing them in store so I could listen to 10/10 recommend, will be coming back!

This record store was too cool for me. The owner is a calm, cool and quiet dude who was very nice to me and he really didn't need to be. He let me test some of the 80s hip hop records that I found - literal classics - as in I found an original early run of The Message by Grandmaster Flash. I asked kindly and as quietly as I could if I could use the turntables hooked up at the front of the store - he nodded quietly, but then pressed a finger to his lips. I nodded, understood and tried to do things as carefully as possible. My sausage fingered hands dropped a record while swapping between vinyls and while he did look over, he was not mad but he did say gently "careful". Not judging - just noting to slow down - take my time, be respectful. He was humming famous riffs and melodies, as I quietly dug through the crates and provided a calming atmosphere. I went through at least a dozen records before choosing my selection. I turned off the sound system gently and placed what I wanted next to the register. He asked if I was paying with card or cash. He checked the prices, bagged them and I said "Thank you" - he charged me an appropriate price for the bundle and made sure to put in a card for the store - which I love collecting. I paid and he said thank you and nodded. I doubt the owner would ever let me back in the store, but one day I hope to return and thank him. A humbling, kind and unique experience. This is a record store that respects vinyl, music and history more than you could ever know.

A really nice vinyl spot. Loved the diverse collection - from African grooves and Latin rhythms to French gems. They also have a great digging section with plenty of 5€ records, perfect for exploring and discovering hidden treasures

Inescapable address when stopping in Paris Fair and squared record’s store ref. Eric is blazing🔥

Super shop !

Good shop with cool people!

Born Bad is a powerhouse; they produce their own records and carry some of the latest and rarest records in the punk realm. I spent about two hours at this record store and went back to make sure I didn't miss anything. Fair prices, expect to leave with more records than you anticipated buying. A must for any punk collector, as well as for those looking for the latest (French) punk records released.

Born Bad is a super dope, little hole-in-the-wall type record shop. They often get new records of upcoming artists both local to France and everywhere abroad, plus they have an eclectic collection of punk/rnr classics and even some hard-to-find gems! The two times I went it was the same dude working, pretty sure he's listened to everything in that shop. Super knowledgeable. Politely ask him for recs based on your genre of choice and he'll point you in the right direction. They often have flyers of upcoming shows at the register, free stickers, and sick T-shirt designs. One thing to note - CASH is preferred! Like really REALLY preferred, so do them a favor and bring plenty of euros with you if you're planning on going in on a few records. *Video is of my recent finds and one of their tote designs.

Could of spent hours in here, loved it Scott From the uk

my favorite record store in paris! I come anytime I'm visiting from new york, always has an amazing curation of 45s and interesting books. owner gives great selections and is an icon himself, love frustration

A paradise if you need something niche and unique to listen too! Nice staff, amazing categories and a lot to look through. A tiny selection of cassette tapes sadly, but defenetly worth a visit if you want to expand your music collection! Prices are really fair also.

A great place to buy secondhand books — very affordable, with books in great condition. Perfect for treasure hunting！

I found so many books here. My stack had books priced from 1euro-6euros and they were coffee table type —heavy and picture laden. The bins were organized and books are separated by category which made for efficient searching.

Beautiful place, has all sorts of used media for good prices.

Very cool place with cheap vinyls.

Nice place big variety of vinyls, books and kids’ books. Even the good quality shopping bag is for free😍😊

Very nice atmosphere. Good prices for books and there was a section out front for international languages for books written in other languages like English.

One of the best Bouloniers in Paris. They offer a good selection of books compared to the other ones! I usually stop by here whenever go to bakery. 📚

Perfect place for old books

Not open at the stated time. Avoid

Always love to peruse the latest arrivals and gifts for yourself are a bargain. Gifts for others come with the hashtag of #recycled. What could be better!?

The Shop has closed long time ago !

I put 5 stars just because people don't understand the fact that the store is on appointment. People are stupid.

i didnt Walk in early inThe morning.as seems a resdancial place.Will try next time.

Lovely place full of good music with very helpful staff 😍

Closed at least 3 years ago! Well done!

You're going to have a tough time not leaving this place with a bag of fun memories. They've got a magnificent collection in the wall racks and more than a few of the best portable devices to play them.

I went to this place today, great selection of cassettes and gear to listen to your favorite musicians on tape. Though the prices vary on what you’re looking for the guy who was working today was very nice and answered all my questions and was patient. I asked for a discount and he gave me %10 off. I really appreciated that. If you’re in Paris and interested in buying some K7 I recommend going here! 😊

Came here while visiting Paris was great to see so many tapes actual great titles aswell I bought an oasis one will visit again if I get the chance

no site or discogs?

Top 😍😍😍😍🤘🏽💣

Very charming cafe. The quality of the coffee is very good and the brownie is delicious. There is also a pretty vinyl corner that gives a unique atmosphere to the place.

Every time, I ask for the same outrageous cappuccino (that is, basically, milk foam with a smidge of coffee)… and they smile and make me the most delicious cup. Thank you. Please support them — they’re a good crew with a knack for the brew.

A wonderful place for those who appreciate good music, atmosphere and high-quality coffee. The atmosphere is cozy and with well chosen music that complements every visit. The cafe staff are friendly and beautiful! Each drink from the menu is done with great quality, you can find gluten free option for the cake, the diverse menu for lunch and really nice breakfast. Recommend to take a breakfast bun, it’s so so good. Definitely one of those places you want to return to!!! ❤️

Great coffee and a really nice atmosphere.

The coffee here was amazing. We were served by a male barista who was super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is so cozy and chill too, would absolutely recommend! (They also have very cute tote bags and stickers with the cafe logo)

That's a new gem to look for whenever i come to paris. They have a wide variety of vinyl , cassettes... and the range price will make everyone happy .

It was a perfect experience. They have a large selection of very good quality vintage vinyl at very fair prices. The staff is a nice and showed records that weren't on the shelves yet. Not everyone speaks English, but they go above and beyond to help you. Highly recommended!

I absolutely LOVE this record store. I’ve been looking for MJ’s CDs and could not find them anywhere throughout my travels. The owner had a BUNCH of Michael Jackson CDs ranging from Off The Wall, Thriller, Blood On The Dance Floor; they even Dangerous and Invisible which is very hard to find in Europe. I’ll definitely be back!

Crocodisc is my favorite vinyl record store in Paris. I've visited it for the first time in 2023 and again last month. They have a wonderful selection of French disco ( I can't get enough of it!), soul, funk and reggae. The staff is fun and kind and try to make an effort to communicate in other language than French, be patient! Will come back every time I visit Paris :)

Update July 2025 Third year in a row maybe to the day again. Met Christopher, Xavier and the inimitable Philippe. Bought loads. Hopefully will be back. Back after exactly one year- to the day. Pleasure dealing with Philippe again. Last year I was just getting into vinyl so spent a lot of time picking up stuff. This visit was quick but rewarding. Bought a lot and some difficult to find- Big Brother & The Holding Company etc. Thank you again. Not sure what to write. This place blew me away. They have 2 shops next to each other. They have so many LPs I am not sure how the folks there keep track. It’s all in their heads. Not only if they have it but also where they are kept. Spent almost 2 hours. Bought a lot of vinyls- shipping them to Dubai. Not cheap - either the vinyls or the shipping- but worth it. Got a lot of Jeff Beck, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Smith and more. You have to visit if you are in Paris.

Very nice local independent record store with a strong community vibe. Good selection, did find some nice surpises in the bargain section. Highly recommended!!!

Dope Place— lots of variety, all sorts of musics as well as some great books— all the crew hanging out there was very friendly, helpful, and endless knowledge.

One of Paris' great record stores with bins full of curated wonders and an owner who is encyclopedic in his knowledge. Joy.

Awesome, unique local shop! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Definitely check it out when in town

In the top 3 best records shop in Paris. Lots of great second hands as well as carefully selected new records. So cool they even have a balearic music section !

Great place!

Great experience!

A wide selection, and all of high quality. Competitive prices, and above all, you're assisted by truly passionate people who are always happy to help you with your search. I'll be back!

Excellent selection and very good advice!

Very good advice from Aksel! I highly recommend the place, I found so many gems :))

Large selection

The seller was very friendly and had a good selection. And most importantly, he had everything entered into his inventory, so he had a clear view of what he had if you were looking for something specific!

Hello Vinylstory Vintage and general record store. An impressive stock of all genres and styles. The owner is very friendly and attentive to your musical preferences. A place worth discovering without delay.

The seller is super friendly, but the prices are clearly outrageous. If you're looking to chat with a music enthusiast, why not? But if you're looking to buy records, look elsewhere.

A place that doesn't look like much at first glance, but is definitely worth a visit! The vinyl collection is impressive, with some real gems, and the record store owner is full of life and good advice. I'll be back on my next trip to Paris!

Fantastic welcome and some great finds! A warm welcome from the owner who really knows his stuff! I highly recommend it!

If you are a vinyl lover, and in Paris, add Etoile Disques to your must visit list. A perfectly curated paradise of music. Every record is at least VG+. The owner is extremely knowledgeable about his collection (inventory). Lots of rare box sets. He is super polite and friendly. Snapped up a Jean Michael Jarre for 10 Euros.

Great store with an amazing selection of records. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable about music and records. I highly recommend it.

The owner is very patient and polite. Ended up finding a very rare French OG press of Miles Davis Kind of Blue! Very very pleasant experience, thank you.

Best record store you can find in Paris. Always full of rare and mint vynile at a good and fair price. The owner is super passionate and expert, ready to give you very useful and appreciated advices. It is a pleasure to return there and discuss with him for a true music passionate.

The owner is such a nice guy, its small but has so many rare finds ... totally recommend it

Amazing place! Clément is super chill and has impeccable taste in music. He also linked me up with someone to fix my record player which was very helpful! The selection of records he has is very nicely curated so you’ll definetly find something you like. I highly recommend dropping by to dig a bit and hang with Clément, super good vibes :)

What a fun experience. Clement was so gracious with his time. When I showed up, he'd just gotten back with tons of freshly procured vinyls. I sat on the floor sifting through tons of new finds while he did some light DJing on the side. Walked away with 4 vinyls (I'd planned on *maybe* getting 1) that couldn't be more different from each other (Sneaker Pimps, N*E*R*D, Donna Summer, and Wings). Definitely worth the visit.

An incredible experience. Clement’s knowledge is only eclipsed by his kindness. Great inventory and reasonably priced. When his collection was not able to give me everything I was looking for he directed me to another seller and helped me look through their stock. Also gave me a fantastic dinner recommendation.

Where can i start with feel good vinyl. Clements was an absolute gentleman. I had no idea it was appointment only to begin with and he facilitated a time to work with me. He has an amazing selection of records and helped me dig up some deep house and tech house gems that have been in my want list for ages and then to top it off when i went to pay the pricing was super reasonable Defiantly recommend

Clement has a great collection. Better than going to a mainstream record shop. You can just hang out at his house and talk to him about film and music!

I was impressed, next level turntable and sound shop

Definitely worth the visit! Beautiful shop, quality selection, and friendly and helpful shop owner. They also have high quality audio tech. All of the prices are fair as well.

Awesome record shop with a great selection and friendly service! I love shops where the quality of the selection comes over the quantity. Instead of digging through a hundred boxes of absolute random records, there's a hand picked, yet a broad selection of good stuff.

Such a cool record store. Very nice inside . @pawsvinyl

That place is as nice as it gets! Loads of awesome records and turntables. 160 Euros later I'm quiet happy I do not live in Paris. 😀

Really cool place - we are from the UK and came to get a keepsake record before we left Paris. The staff were awesome and made a great french jazz recommendation for us! Thank you!

Excellent place and lots of great records to choose from, really wide choice of genres and reasonable prices. Visiting Paris for the weekend and next time I’m here will definitely go back.

Definitely one of the best record stores in Paris! It may look small but there's plenty of good stuff. Lot of french music and mainstream pop rock but also an excellent selection of world music, soul and other genres. The guy running the shop is so kind and helps you to find something if you can't do it by yourself. I'll go there again when I come back to Paris.

Small but well packed store with a very nice selection of a wide variety of LP's. Fair prices, they also have a small but surprisingly good CD's. Everything is mostly new. Only a very small selection of used LP's for those who are looking for that but again - the prices of the new ones are fair and worth your time.

very kind

One of my new favorite record stores in Paris! They always have a nice selection of jazz for a good price and the people are nice and easy going. They also buy or trade records which is always a nice option.

Visited this store while browsing around Paris. They have a great selection of music. Very friendly and knowledgeable interaction with staff. If in the neighborhood do not hesitate to visit.

Really great place to get 1st press vinyls. Pricing is decent / honest compared to other shops in Paris. They always do their research and add a sticker on each vinyls with details such as the year of pressing, location and sometimes a little personal note which really makes a difference. The staff is super friendly too. Highly recommend !!

Beautiful minimalist shop, quite spacious. Interesting selection of 90s pop-rock original pressing and french hip hop. Will hope to find more and more collectors in the future.

One of the coolest stores I've ever been too. Great selection of records, all in pristine condition and very well organized. The owner is such a nice person and definetely a music connaisseur. I had to force myself out of there just so I didn't buy everything. Looking forward for my next chances to visit. Cheers from Brasil!

Amazing shop for vintage vinyl. If you're looking for albums that you don't see ANYWHERE else (obscure soul funk jazz dance world rock etc), be sure to add Heart Beat to your 'must-visit' list. The owner really knows his inventory and can help you navigate the rarities with ease. I left with a nice stack of Jazz Funk from around the World. A very happy customer here!

Great vinyl selections, classics vault and rare gems, great variety of all styles. Good chats and awesome service.

Excellent variety of vinyls of all music genres, particularly those interested in rare pop/rock, R&B, jazz, and funk. Wonderful service. Compared to the vinyls I’ve bought in the United States, these were quite inexpensive! I paid around 15€ per vinyl. Would highly recommend!

My wife and I buy records all over the world, and this is hands down one of the best record stores we’ve visited! Stock curation is fantastic and we thought the pricing was ok! Records were really nicely organised so it was easy to find what you wanted. Came out with one of the best stacks of vinyl we’ve found out in the wild. Heartbeat, you just keep doing what you’re doing, haters gonna hate, but lovers will definitely keep on loving.

The best experience for lover of music! You can find here everything and more Very helpful owner which can show you all treasures of this place. Recommend to visit!

Unique place on the map of Paris 👍 Big selection. The owner super friendly, he waited for 10 minutes after closure because I was doing a gift for my daughter. Highly recommend.

Visiting from Chicago and really wanted to buy some French records. The gentleman at the store helped curate which records with only a little direction from me (French + Jazz). Fun shop, great place to get a memento to bring home !

Best Store! Huge collection! Owner is the best! Will absolutely be back! Thank for everything! He even kept the store open for me after they closed at 7pm to finish looking! Highly recommend if you���re in Paris and you want to find rare collectible records!

Renan was fantastic! He helped me find some very rare Michael Jackson vinyls and his knowledge is amazing! Highly recommend

Is this place open? We went during the hours Google posted, but was is closed. The gate was down and everything.

Might be cool, but it was closed during the posted hours.

A good place for jazz lovers

I am here now, it is closed 😑

A great place. But call Alain before you go, it's by appointment only!

Dropped in here whilst going to Max Romeo in Paris. Great little record shop. Picked up some reasonably rare reggae 7 and 12 inches. The guy was very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth going to if interested in reggae vinyl

I had some time to kill so I thought I would stop in. Great selection of Reggae. Also some soul-funk-R&B; also Afro beat and jazz. I ended up spending over my budget and was going to ask for a bonus but the owner beat me to it! 😁

Wicked selection of Reggae/Ska/Rock Steady original and reissued, plus lots of choice also in Soul and some R&B. Definitly recommanded !

Very friendly staff! Good 7" colection. I'll come back in my next time in Paris for sure!

Nice reggae records shop in Paris. Good choice and friendly staff ! 😀

La Dame Blanche is a hidden gem for vinyl lovers! The shop boasts an impressive and diverse collection of records, making it a paradise for collectors. Its location is perfect—just beside the Panthéon, right in the heart of Paris. The owner is incredibly helpful and went out of his way to help me track down a rare Fou So’ng record. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for quality music and excellent service.

After searching out all of the record stores in Paris that were open during holiday, I came back to this one again. Fantastic ambience and friendly staff with a heavy focus on Classical and Jazz records. Reasonable pricing compared to other shops I visited in Paris. I found a fantastic French press Django Reinhardt and a numbered Wes Montgomery box set. A charming little shop that I couldn’t recommend more.

The record collection was very organised, making it easy to find performers of composers. The manager was very helpful and cleared space for me to search through boxes. The titles in the shop are just a small part of a larger collection, but there is a lot there to browse through.

I went here because I’m into classical vinyl - I think this is THE must-visit record shop in Paris if that’s what you’re looking for, I could easily have spent more! Jazz collection is extensive too. Owner is knowledgeable of his collection, very friendly and happy to help.

This is my favourite record store on this planet. No store is better for classical music. I go there every time I visit Paris. They have a vast collection of vinyl.

I LOVED this place, I bought the nirvanas Nevermind, but they have any disc you want, on CD, on vinyl, on single… I loved it!

A lovely record shop in beautiful Montmartre, what a pleasant discovery! The owner JP curates a good range of music. I especially like the Kosmische Music, Prog and Electronics sections, but there is much more to find. A pleasure to meet you and I will return every time we visit Paris!

I took some gifts from my dad and he was super enthusiastic, the vibe inside is immaculate and it feels like home, the owner cleans everything each time u touch something to maintain the pieces and that’s why everything is so tidy and clean! Must go if u love vinyl culture or also Cds, you can find literally everything!

We walked in and almost immediately found and bought a rare box set and we're SO HAPPY!! Just an incredible selection of eclectic music for real fans.

Great record store! Plenty of options and great service!! The owner is very kind and gave us great advice!! Very recommended!

Take a peek behind "The Iron Curtain", and you will find a treasure trove of the most wanted vinyl. There were plenty of records I picked up, put down, and picked up again, to satisfy my thirst for rarities of the vinyl persuasion. La Rideau de Fer is not one to be slept on. Be sure to allow yourself plenty of time to find all the treasures you seek. If you're nice enough, the owner will bring out his rarest records of the genre you seek. Happy Hunting

So much selection to browse. Picked up this ska gem on Saturday, and now back in the UK enjoying it. Plays beautifully.

Beautiful record store with a huge selection of vinyls. I was able to find a lot of obscure 80s records for really good prices. The owner was also very friendly and helped me find what I was looking for. I can't wait to go back to Paris and visit the store again :)

Very nice record shop with a nicely curated selection. Shop owner is very friendly and helpful. Was a pleasure to spend some time there and walked out with a couple of very special records. Very much recommended!

Best record store in the city. Great selection of records at fair prices, and the service is 10/10.

I had such a great experience here. Owner played a bunch of records for me, even opening new ones. I hope they can reopen soon, there’s a resurgence of love of vinyl and this is the kind of store that can thrive. At least I hope so!

Solid shop for new issues, reissues, and a smaller selection of Used vinyl - in most all genres you can imagine! I stumbled into here on the way to another shop and was pleasantly surprised. It took some digging but I found a couple vintage/used pieces to bring home. If you're into new pressings though, you'll be very happy you made a visit.

A unique record shopping experience, one that truly reflects Paris for me. Inventory is comprised mostly of unused new stock of CDs and LP Vinyl Owner is quirky, if you catch him in a good mood he is happy to help, if not could make way for a misunderstanding. This place suffered a big fire this year, and needs more support to stay afloat.

Easily the best record store in Paris, you can find pretty much anything here, for a good price too! And the owner is the best guy ever! 10/10

I find it curious that a lot of reviewers have said negative things about the owner. I stopped in there today, and I dunno, maybe it's because I'm an American, but he was as nice and as friendly as could be, and we had an enjoyable chat. The variety of the stock was better than average and the prices were very reasonable, but the vinyl stock was maybe 85% new and 15% used, and I am mostly looking for vintage pressings, so I left empty-handed. The records were also packed extremely tightly in the bins, and some shelf wear was visible.

One of my favorites when in town to dig and pick up gems 💎 This place has been in business for 40 yrs the guys there are super nice and helpful for what you are looking for. Thank you for the good vibes and fair pricing. Highly recommend ⚡️🙏⚡️

My favourite record store in Paris. Both times I've visited have found lots of records at fair prices. They have a big range but particularly good for punk, new wave and Aussie records I can't find in Australia.

Very good collection of cassettes, separated by genre, which is a rare sight. Prices vary, but mostly they’re fair, so if you’re looking for tapes, definitely stop by Yeti. You won’t be dissapointed.

Very good record store, opened on Saturday, Sundays and Mondays, a must go for the diggers in the middle of Les Puces de St Ouen. Very large selection of records, plenty of genres, and cheap prices. The two owners know what they are doing.

Best record shop in Paris if you are digging for gems at fair prices. Been to all the shops in Oden and nothing came close.

Really well organised store spanning many genres! Found a rare Japanese Jazz record here that I had been looking for since a while. And another Japanese rare groove record that I had never heard of before. Friendly owner too, I recommend a visit!

Very nice but small record store. Has a really good selection of Jazz. Prices are on the steep side but I find this to be the case in most record stores around Paris.

One of the best record stores I have been to. Had an amazing collection of jazz/soul music. Even had a place to play the records with headphones for you to test the quality.

Visited almost all the record shops in Paris and this is absolutely the best, no question. Focused on second hand instead of filling crates with new reissues. Pricing is very fair with some great deals in 5€ bins. Great listening station with good cartridge/needle shows attention to details. Assortment is funk/soul/italo/jazz/rock/jpn pressings.

Great selection and lots of rare stuff. Amazing listening stations. A little bit pricey.

For my tastes had a very high ratio of interesting records. I went back twice in one week after being to some other record stores in the centre of Paris and not finding much. Nice guy who runs it, speaks good English, plays nice tunes. Would recommend.

Amazing record store with a great selection of music!

A+!!! If You Dig Vinyl...This Is It!!! Highly Recommended!!!

The owner was very helpful in introducing the store to me. They have many new vinyl records for sale, and if I didn't see any, I could ask the owner to help me find them. It's a great record store!

Great shop! I was looking for a vinyl record as a gift, and the salesperson knew exactly what I was looking for! I highly recommend it! PS: I'm still looking for my Carlos "Rosalie" vinyl record 😅

Very nice record store! It had a cool chic style with only the most iconic of records, and it’s decorated in an iconic way

Well is the meca of Madonna stuff in Paris, clean, organized and lots of merch and records, nice attentive staff. Loved it!

This shop is a paradise for collectors and fans of iconic divas, with a particular focus on Madonna. It offers a wide range of products and memorabilia, from rare collectibles to unique items that celebrate the legacy of these legendary artists. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just curious, this store is a treasure trove for anyone who loves pop culture and music history. A must-visit for Madonna enthusiasts!

Dance & Sing Get Up And Do Your MADONNA Thing! This extremely well curated place goes Deeper & Deeper into their Madonna rarities like no other place I've been to in person. It has everything a collector would want it life! From rare Brazilian releases of 1994s Bedtime Stories to smart press kits for Keep It Together and even more rare Madonna magazines! Being an ICON member since 1995 I must say that this is One of my favorite places on earth and I'm so glad the owners are nice! This was my second time here at this store and it's up to you to now go and enjoy the special items they have gathered from all of the world. You might already own some of these items but it's Alway good to see where one's collection needs improvement because Beauty's Where You Find It!

Love 🫀🫶💯🫶🫀😍. Madonna fans of the world unite! I went in to look around and found a copy of the Italian Madonna song book that came out a few months ago (not available in the U.S.). I hauled that book around with me all over Paris then through Bilbao and Lisboa. Also got a cool brat lighter and a Madonna tote bag. I will stop by every single time I'm in Paris. 🫀🫶

Great place with selection of newest releases. Have found rare compilation with orient music. Recommend to visit! Owner helps with and questions! Cheers and are you soon 🇫🇷🇬🇪

Super disquaire ! Passionné ! On y trouve de tout et surtout à prix correct. Se trouve au ground Control où il y a souvent des évènements avec séances de dédicaces et concerts. Bref je ne peux que vous recommander ce lieux.

Il est 15:30, toujours personne… pour un magasin qui ouvre à 15:00, c’est vraiment moyen ! Surtout que je viens de loin ! Personne n’est capable de me renseigner dans les magasins à côté Tant pis, je pars.,. Dommage, on m’avait dit que c’était une bonne adresse et j’avais un bon budget.

I agree with the comment about respecting opening hours. Opening time indicated 3:00 PM, 3:40 PM, still no one there.

Fantastic record store run by a true enthusiast! All this in a unique location: Ground Control. I highly recommend this place!

This place rules! Saw it by chance walking to get some lunch on a visit to Paris. Scored some great records I’ve been looking for and can’t find easily in the states. It’s a chill vibe and the guys very friendly. Definitely worth a stop.

This place has a fantastic collection, mostly new vinyls. They also had cassettes, books, t-shirts, a café, and more. I highly recommend visiting when you’re in Paris!

Really good vibes, we got some vinyl and stayed for a coffee. Good posters and merch as well!

Pretty cool place! Lots of old & new music. I bought a nifty Fleetwood Mac tee-shirt; and got a free espresso. No, it doesn’t mean you’ll get one too…

Just a walk in can become a temptation. Very nice new & used vinyls selection, also books are very interesting. Great background music from Mathieu.

My experience at Monster Melodies was extremely unpleasant. The seller became noticeably rude as soon as he saw that I was carrying a bag from another shop, which made the atmosphere feel hostile and uncomfortable. Instead of feeling welcomed as a customer, I felt judged and disrespected. A record store should be a place where music lovers are treated with courtesy, regardless of where else they shop. Because of the seller’s attitude, I would strongly recommend going to other stores where customers are treated with basic respect. Sadly, this was one of the worst shopping experiences I’ve had.

A huge selection of used vinyl plus a solid choice of CDs, cassettes and a few 8 track tapes. Prices range from acceptable to silly. There's some vintage HiFi gear as well. Note: a sale is final even if you haven't yet left the shop. No picture taking is allowed inside.

Be patient, don’t expect bargains and you’ll find rare items. Don’t compare to Discogs, Discogs will not sell bootlegs anyway. Extremely disorganized so ask for help and you’ll get it.

Crazy place with too many stuff. Did not felt welcomed. Staff replies made me feel idiot to ask for something they do not have. Well. Ok then bye and I will never come back.

I’m obsessed with this place. I’ve been to Paris twice, I’ve been to this place twice. The owner is perfect, and makes the best recommendations. Will help you find anything. It’s a treasure trove of stories and music. I could spend hours here and I wish I could fly to Paris right now and visit.

I bought a 1979 copy of Pink Floyd "The Wall" and got it all the way back to the USA without damage. I was very happy for this souvenir from my visit to France. Merci Beaucoup.

One way road..can not stop

Must see in the suburbs of Paris. Nostalgic decor with a wide range of record sizes and genres

Excellent record store! I come back every time I'm in Paris, and I never leave empty-handed! The vinyl records I buy are always in excellent condition! I highly recommend it!

This record shop buys and sells used vinyl records; the gems are showcased beautifully, and the organization is excellent. They also have turntables and a small antique section.

Francesco is the man! Very welcoming and excellent selection of wax. Brand new and second hand Funk, Soul and Hip Hop gems at very reasonable prices. Highly recommended if you're in Paris.

This is totally a biased review although we were brought here by our event promoters "Paris Reality Check" when we were on tour in France.The phenomenal hosts and the very gracious Francesco of Music Ave put together an impromptu performance that attracted a large gathering (see pics) on a unseasonably warm 80 degree Tuesday afternoon in late September of 2013. Support record stores worldwide especially Music Avenue in Paris! merci encore Francesco et Paris Reality Check!

Amazing service and a great selection of records at reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

An excellent record shop! Francesco knows a lot about Music and how to enjoy it at the best of your budget ! Indeed, the owner provides affordable yet careful care for your vintage audio gear.

Very very pleased with the patience and expertise from the owner. He took hours just for teaching and letting me try out different speakers and amplifiers. Finally got the best one for me. Highly recommend!

Stopped by to get a classic hip hop record spotted on the website and left with a few extras based on the owner's excellent recommendations. Will definitely come back next time I'm in Paris. Thanks!

Amazing place with a great variety of bands. Lots of metal, rock, punk and such. Great place if you want to give someone some amazing LPs or CDs as souvenirs, this is the place to be. Thank you for being kind and stay amazing!

Outstanding good! Nice guy, small store but the best selection of vinyl you can find! At least for Stoner Sludge Doom and post metal. AWESOME! Definitely will be back.

Great store, good selection, especially hardcore-punk and post rock stuff :) it is a little bit difficult to find what you’re looking for so plan your time ahead. Prices are very good!!!

Best metal record shop I've been to. The reviewer who said there was more rock and punk than metal must have had their eyes closed. This shop has an insanely deep selection of metal from all genres. Worth the trip to Paris in it's own right.

This is an excellent store, well-stocked for music lovers. They have a good mix of old and new vinyl, with prices that are very fair for Paris. Plus, I was easily able to purchase a gift certificate for my boyfriend's birthday; the owner Nico worked with me to make sure he received it (in person!) on his actual birthday.

One of the best House records I’ve ever been to. Found records I’ve been trying to collect for years and at amazing prices. But most importantly, the guys that run it are the best. So kind and friendly. Truly embodying that beautiful sense of community you get, from crate digging/ collecting vinyls.

This shop only carries international house music, but their collection is nice. It was fun choosing records and personally playing them on record players with headphones -- very old school.

A new go-to record shop for my visits to Paris. The selection of electronic music was top notch for me and the owner was welcoming and friendly.

Lovely place! A great selection of vinyls and the owner was very friendly, he helped me choose my vinyls. Inside the place you had the chance to stay calm and enjoy the vinyls before purchasing. I will definitely go back!

Great store! And Frank…amazing seller! Thank you very much! I will definitely buy again in my next visit in Paris 😊 Recommended!

Gut

Excellent experience with Music Partner. The person who worked on my guitar was very friendly and took the time to explain things to me, which I really appreciated as a beginner. I highly recommend them and will definitely go back!

The shop's opening hours need to be reviewed. Ugh...!!!! They say it's open until 7:30 PM, but it's already closed at 7 PM. I made the trip for nothing.

The seller was very friendly and gave excellent advice!

I am very satisfied with Music Partner's work on the two guitars I brought in for tuning. They sound better than ever thanks to his expertise and attention to detail. His professionalism and sound advice make all the difference. In addition, the rates are very reasonable for the quality of the service provided. I highly recommend his services to all musicians! 🎸😊

Best record shop in Paris and maybe in the world! The owner is so kind and gives you all the best advice to discover rare vinyls!

I stumbled across this record store by chance in Paris and it was one of the most amazing experiences I had. The owner, Slim, is very passionate about music and a great person to talk to. His record selection is immaculate. He even helped me get a record that was sold out everywhere and shipped it to Madrid. Thank you for everything, Slim!

Slim from Music Please Record Shop in Paris is legitimately one of the kindest and most helpful record store owners I've ever met (throughout all of my travels across USA and the world). His collection is carefully curated, well-organized and you can find everything from The Cure to Wu Tang to Beck to Nirvana to David Bowie to Queens of the Stone Age...or if you want a new favorite French band recommendation, he'll share that too. It was an absolutely wonderful experience being in his shop and feeding off his passion for this business. I highly recommend any vinyl lovers to visit if your travels ever bring you to Paris. I will definitely be back! Merci Beaucoup, Slim!

Slim was amazing. The records are so well collated and cataloged. Lots of amazing rare stuff and very reasonably priced. A must for any vinyl collector who finds themselves in Paris.

This place is more like walking into a friend's carefully curated private record collection than a store - such a great experience and an incredible selection at very reasonable prices. We went to a few great record stores during our trip to Paris, but this one was the best and we got some really unique items, had a great chat and a photo at the end! Tres bien, merci!

Prices are 2 times higher than in other shops and they don’t do refunds so it’s definitely better to go to other shops

My daughters favorite store in Paris, they have everything

An amazing kpop store in Paris. The staff was really nice, they didn't have any xlov albums left, but the woman gave me a Hyun postcard as a gift. Also I was pleasantly surprised that they had all zb1 digipacks with all the members.

KPOP shop. Paris The place to be if you are KPOP Fan. Inside the commercial wall OSLO. Chinatown, Paris 13th district.

A lot of different kpop groups albums and a lot of photocards and other accessories. It’s sad that they didn’t have a lot albums in stock

Stumbled across this store on our way to see Jim Morrison's grave. Had a really nice selection of classic rock vinyl (but no Doors at the time). Prices seemed fair. Ask for help if you want something on the walls.

Closed until September the 12th

Horrible seller

What happened in this vinyl haven, usually so conducive to sharing and discovering music in a friendly atmosphere? To paraphrase a famous magician, "Run, you fools!" An aggressive and insulting reception—I've never experienced anything like it in a record store. A truly memorable experience to be avoided at all costs if you don't want to lose faith in humanity.

It may not be a megastore like those in central Paris, but that's the beauty of it. Despite the size of the place, there were some very interesting titles at fair used prices. And then there was the kindness of the manager, always available and ready with a joke. Knowing that I'm Italian, he made himself even more helpful... he also comes from an Italian family. I find reviews from a half-crazy person very strange... I don't know, unless it's someone else, but I don't think so.

Good prices, from 2€ a vinyl. A lot of CD’s and movies on DVD and Blu-ray.

Some interesting variety of products but not much items here.

every time I go to Paris I visit O‘CD! very big selection and extremely nice staff :) they help you with whatever you‘re looking for and know their movies haha

Nice selection, fairly well priced. Loses 2 marks for appalling customer service. I pay for a 9 euro cd with a 10 euro note, the guy behinds me mumbles that they have no change (this is a small chainstore!). When I offer to pay by card instead he shrugs in the direction of the card machine. Zero effs given!

Loved visiting this on my Paris trip, so many movies, loved how organised and cleaned the shop was, truly a hidden treasure for physical media fans 😍😍😍

Great place for physical media enjoyers. Super well organized DVD section. As a collector on vacation I will definitely come back here whenever I visit Paris!

Loved this place so much, such a treasure for physical media lovers, absolutely recommend coming here, I found so movies that I can’t find in the UK so huge pros for that. Hoping this store/ business gets a lot of success cause it truly was amazing

Fine and fun atmosphere, gives off the "treasure hunt" vibe for people that likes to collect physical media. Prices are decent, but remember to check if the media is in French!

There are a lot of CDs, vinyls, movies and videogames. Most of them in french (sadly for non speakers like me) but spending few minutes here is worth it. Some rarities and cool stuff.

Lots of good vinyl sadly lots of new press for same price as original press. Fair prices.

Large store, many DVDs but also CDs (used too) and some records (mostly new)

Not all that and the prices are higher then FNAC or online (for records). Also they have a very limited pre-owned selection (for records). In addition the staff literally think that they are Jack Black and John Cusack in HIGH FIDELITY 🤣 - Come on guys get a grip and share the love !

many cds, dvds and vinyls. i love that you can play the music before buying it, it makes you explore new music and be actually sure you like it before you buy it. it was so much more common before, i'm happy they kept it this way

It's a really nice store of a bygone age. In the days of streaming these become increasingly rare in my hometown and I was surprised to find it near Notre Dame de Paris. It's well sorted, movies and vinyl easily forgotten of with a friendly and capable crew to support your film and music needs!

It was a cool vibe, friendly staff and some good finds. Pretty pricey though.

Panorama is an excellent spot to buy records. Fairly graded and fairly priced. I even had to ask him if something was wrong with a record because it was cheaper than I was expecting. He in good humor offered to raise the price if it made me more comfortable. The store is a bit out of your normal Paris destination but it’s worth the Uber ride and there are many more record vendors on the floor with him so you’ll be digging for awhile.

One of the best digging spot in Paris. Well curated stock, carefully selected records with prices for all type of vinyl lovers. Rare wax available for more demanding diggers like myself. Shop staff is very friendly, knowledgeable by genre and genuinely interested in satisfying their guests...a spot where you feel at home, and guaranteed to find pieces AMSMF sometimes lots you usually don’t easily get in Europe. Keep it up folks!

One of the best record shop in Paris, period. Great selection, records in good shape and prices are nice. If you came to Paris it's a must !

#231 has a russian owner, playing russian patriotic songs out loud. disgrace

Great selection of records ! Always a pleasure to stop by to digg.

I enjoyed my time there, but I wish the store had English comics.

Nice range of second hand CDs. My daughter ended up with one INXS and one Jimi Hendrix CD. The man behind the counter was very polite.

The type of place you want to find. Local, authentic and full of good and interesting things. Books, records, CDs and a lot in between... We went to find a gift and accomplished the object with a very nice result. Good people.

A nice 2nd hand record store, specializing in rock/pop music. Offer seems to be pretty large and vinyl prices are rather reasonable. They also sell music related books. The only reason not to award them 5 stars is the limitation on jazz. They don’t carry jazz music.

If you are looking for music books, periodicals, zines (mostly in French but with a selection of titles in English too) head straight here to this Paris institution, a stone's throw from Les Halles. You'll be rewarded with an ample choice and very courteous service at the cashier's desk. Browsing through their stock is never interrupted (a definitive plus nowadays, if you choose to buy books in a bookstore, rather than online). Go, visit!

Located in the heart of a bustling city, Paris, this hidden gem is a haven for music lovers. From the moment you step through the doors, you're enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere, filled with the sounds of jazz greats from every era. The selection of records is simply astounding, with something to suit every taste and budget. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting out, you're sure to find something to add to your collection. The staff are also incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about jazz, and are always happy to help you find that perfect record. With its amazing selection, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere, this record store is a must-visit for any music lover.

Stopped by on a Friday but the doors were locked at 6:30 with no explanation why. Too bad. I travelled far to shop there.

The best range of second hand jazz I’ve ever seen. It’s densely packed though, so digging is hard… and the prices are fairly high, so no bargains to be had… but if you want it, Paris Jazz Corner likely has it.

A must for all serious jazz enthusiasts. A great selection of original pressings and for the guitarists out there (such as me), the shop specialises in guitar.

Not many places left like this gem. The vast catalogue of jazz records is unique, perfect condition and great atmosphere

Thanks for being so welcoming! Great to hear a bit about your store.

Incredible shop. Very kind owner. A beautiful moment

Great shop where you can find some treasures ask the friendly seller he will find something for you

Fun little store with a very friendly and helpful owner, many original pressings, recommended if you're especially interested in French (and international) releases from around the 70s.

A place of the good old times of the 80ies ! Huge choice of Vinyls, tape and a really nice shopkeeper. A Paris Milestone to find what it takes to unrust your Sony WM!

The best experience for lover of music! You can find here everything and more Very helpful owner which can show you all treasures of this place. Recommend to visit!

Small store but worth a visit. The owner is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about vinyl. I learned new things about collecting and about french music whole speaking with him.

Cool place, Renan the owner is a big fan of Madonna and so do I ! He knows everything and will give the best recommendation.

Unique place on the map of Paris 👍 Big selection. The owner super friendly, he waited for 10 minutes after closure because I was doing a gift for my daughter. Highly recommend.

Great selection of vinyls. Very friendly and helpful. He even packed my son's records for the plane ride home.

Best record shop in Paris and maybe in the world! The owner is so kind and gives you all the best advice to discover rare vinyls!

We make it a point to visit vinyl record stores when we travel. It's a great way to experience and discover culture and interact with folks who have a shared passion for music. This one checks all the boxes. The owner, Slim, is super friendly, charismatic, passionate music lover who introduced us to a variety of French language artists. It is a smaller shop but has a little bit of everything. Had a great time and picked up a few French rock and punk albums.

Slim from Music Please Record Shop in Paris is legitimately one of the kindest and most helpful record store owners I've ever met (throughout all of my travels across USA and the world). His collection is carefully curated, well-organized and you can find everything from The Cure to Wu Tang to Beck to Nirvana to David Bowie to Queens of the Stone Age...or if you want a new favorite French band recommendation, he'll share that too. It was an absolutely wonderful experience being in his shop and feeding off his passion for this business. I highly recommend any vinyl lovers to visit if your travels ever bring you to Paris. I will definitely be back! Merci Beaucoup, Slim!

Slim was amazing. The records are so well collated and cataloged. Lots of amazing rare stuff and very reasonably priced. A must for any vinyl collector who finds themselves in Paris.

This place is more like walking into a friend's carefully curated private record collection than a store - such a great experience and an incredible selection at very reasonable prices. We went to a few great record stores during our trip to Paris, but this one was the best and we got some really unique items, had a great chat and a photo at the end! Tres bien, merci!

Impressive amount of records and the owner was very helpful. We were seeking the original Modern Lovers.

Sure this shop has original pressing but prices are not displayed. Usually, when you ask for a price, the seller checks Discogs and gives a quote with a big mark-up. The condition is generally subpar, mostly VG/VG+. Be very careful to check the condition under light. Incredibly tiny shop. Nothing really positive to be honest.

Highly recommended records store when in Paris Friendly/ knowledgeable owner and great selection including seldom seen albums for respectable pricing Cheers from Montréal

The best shop I ever visited in Paris. Not too big, but cute and clean. What was the most important - I've found all records I planned to buy. A little Etienne Daho museum is also there around you (for those who dig in Etienne's works - a must to visit). Thank you very much, Quentin - it was a pleasure to meet you! Greetings from Moscow!

Amazing record collection. One of the best record shops I’ve been in. The owner is friendly and helpful, with some great recommendations. Some seriously rare stuff here if you dig deep.

The best place to buy vinyls in Paris. Great material, great quality and the owner have some secret to share. I´ll be back next time in Paris. Thanks for your attention!

I was in Paris for work and stopped by to shop for some french punk vinil, the owners were very cool, recommended stuff and let me listen to the open ones. They got a great selection at fair prices. Recommended!

Great shop, alot of gold to be found , great collection of vinyl old and new

Nice local corner shop. Fair pricing.

Great store. Friendly owner and a good collection of records.

Rude guy, he accidentally locked me and my partner inside the store and when he finally came back didnt even say anything. No sorry no hello nothing. The prices are also too high, overall wont recommend.

Absolutely rude with bad manners. The owner doesn’t know how to treat the clients. I put one star because google doesn’t allow to give a zero.

this is the best amazing record shop in paris for metal heads love that shop. the owner was very friendly and i liked it so much i went there 4 times in a week and came home to the states with 25 records from there this is a five star ***** shop thank u rock 'n' roll voltage my friend

This is one of the best record shops I’ve ever been in. The owner has a great eye for music, and he has curated an amazing collection of music. It ranges from various kinds of hard rock and metal to include some harder progressive rock. I love hard rock, progressive rock, and metal. He had albums from most of my favorite artists that I had never even heard of. It was an amazing experience. I highly recommend this store.

Got locked inside of the store.. when the seller came back didn’t even apologise. Plus everything is overpriced. Get your records online.

The store has a wonderful curation. Highly recommend to any vinyl affectionate. The owner has great knowledge to share.

A highly recommended shop for lovers of good music: rock, blues, jazz, pop… There's something for everyone, from beginners to connoisseurs. I found exactly what I was looking for in this store; I received excellent advice and a warm welcome.

Absolutely the pinnacle for Jazz lovers. A must-visit spot anytime I’m in Paris. Plus I love how all of the vinyl is organized by Label, the only way Jazz should be organized!

For all jazz vinyl lovers : this place is a heaven ! A part of Sam’s recordings (which are excellent re-issues, great sounding, with high quality packing and great photo reproductions) there is a quite good selection of other reissue labels, all top notch quality. I have been there yesterday (Saturday), bought bunch of records and told myself : “to hell my wallet, will be back on Monday”. But after checking out the shop is open only on Fridays and Saturdays. Will be there for sure next time I come to Paris. Thx to great owner !

I have only shopped online, but it has been a great pleasure, and I managed to find a danish jazz vinyl from the 60s, which I have been looking for for a very long time. Huge recommendation! I will definitely stop by next time I'm in France 😊

A fantastic small business releasing some great audiophile jazz releases. Upmost respect for the gentleman running the business as his eye for detail is second to none the quality of packaging and the overall details of the product is excellent 5-star

Vivre son reve,to live his dream - this is the idea of FredThomas

I had the pleasure of visiting this shop and I had a great experience. The owner is really kind and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you walk in. He has a nice collection of vintage audio, and it's evident that the owner has a passion and knowledge about his shop. Sons et images d’hier is a must-visit.

Great store! Nice coffee and welcome, good selection of vinyl and electronics. Recommended!

A hidden gem on Rue Mariotte, in the heart of the Batignolles district. A passionate host welcomes you and offers expert advice on everything from vinyl records to audio equipment. With a network of skilled technicians, he also handles repairs for all types of equipment: amplifiers, players, turntables, and more. The peaceful atmosphere is perfect for enjoying quality music in excellent company. A must-visit.

I discovered "Sons et images d'hier" a few days ago, and what a gem it is in the neighborhood! This recently opened shop is a true paradise for vinyl and vintage music equipment enthusiasts. Plus, you can enjoy a coffee there. A must-visit for music and vintage lovers!

A magical place, Antoine, a passionate character, guides you according to your expectations. A great selection of jazz vinyl records. The records and sleeves are in very good condition, even at low prices! I highly recommend it.

Mandatory every time we visit paris. Excellent selection full of surprises. Perfect for people who dig Don Cherry, Kevin Drumm and everything in between and beyond. Pro-tip: pick up one of the releases on their own label that you haven't heard. Never disappoints!

Great stuff. If you know, you know.

If you’re into freejazz, krautrock and other more experimental and adventurous genres this store is a must-visit. No secondhand records only new vinyl but the selection of titles is superb. Friendly and well informed service as well. Will come back.

Great selection of electronic vinyls

This is the best record shop in Paris for forward-looking music in all genres. Friendly service and lovely environment.

Great choice of vinyl records from various genres, with an emphasis on black artists. From collectibles to finds for 5€ and 10€. Incredibly friendly owner, he speaks perfect English but also let me practice my French on him. Highly recommended.

Amazing record shop, nice jazz , rock , afro west indies, world etc.. and a surprising Classical vynils selection ..Superb works by the owner and great concert ..

How is this place even real? The proprietor reminds me of some storybook wizard, gently showing you littlest treasures and revealing little gems. The selection ranges all over from classic American pop to jazz to French to island to African. If you have any interest in reviving the lost beauty of vinyl, this store is your promised land.

Incredible selection of rare gems! Will be back!

To all music lovers—look no further! This place is fantastic, offering great records at excellent prices.

one could go bankrupt walking in here. By that i mean their selection is incredible. Awesome Afro jazz selection. Wild to see that much international music in one space. Keep doing what youre doing.

I love this record store. So many amazing records and a range of prices — a ton of good quality cheap ones!

This store nearly brought me to tears. Not because I had a bad experience, but because I had to leave so many records behind. I bought 10, but I could have easily left with 40. Probably more. If you are a free jazz fan, or afro beat, or any beat you will not be disappointed. You may never leave. Although I didn't pick up any, I was happy to see one of my favourite labels, International Anthem, was heavily represented. Artists I bought: Sun Ra, Tony Allen, Albert Ayler, Art Ensemble of Chicago, David Murray, Grachan Moncur III, The Leaders (Lester Bowie, Arthur Blythe, Chico Freeman, Cecil McBee, Kirk Lightsey, Don Moye), Les Quatour de Saxophones (French free jazz that I took a flier on, because when in France...), Gato Barbieri and Dollar Brand, and finally Paul Bley with Steve Swallow & Pete LaRoca. If you are in Paris near the Le Marais neighborhood, do not pass this store by. Stunning.

One of the best vinyl stores I’ve seen in Paris. The records are in their categories and easy to go through, not too tight. I especially liked that they had written a short description of the album on a label but I noticed at home that they had took the protective sleeve off and so the label was not there anymore. I wonder why they didn’t give it to me as it belonged to the record I bought, they couldn’t use it anywhere else? So minus one ⭐️ there.

Wicked record shop, wide variety of genres and styles and some good finds in the €5 bargain boxes.

Music Club (and formerly a record store) next to Bastille Square. Stage is built in one of the corners and venue has the shape of an "L". We were not able to reach the loo or buy drinks from the bar as it's been that crowded the night we attended that we couldn't make it through the crowd. Deffo not on the list of my Top 10 music venues tbh. Convert was fantastic tho!

Good but small, no seats you have to stand all the concert and no cloakroom. Tiny bar + smoke room.

Great little place for intimate gigs.

Somehow hosting all my favorite small bands... LOVE IT :D

I watched an amazing show by the Brazilian band Oruã

Need some order but prices were great on the second hands, found some jewels. Listening stations could be a bit more taken care of but staff was helpful

One of the best record stores I have ever been to. A must visit for any lover of electronic music. I had a hard time choosing, the collection is outstanding. The owner was incredibly nice as well.

A fantastic shop - high quality and extensive collection of House and Techno, with such friendly and knowledgeable service from Blaise. I was made to feel so welcome despite my near total lack of French and I spent ages listening through the many enticing choices before making my selections. I will definitely be back again next time I'm in Paris. A record shop to match the best in the UK and Berlin in my view.

Great store. Records are nicely priced and I found a lot of cool stuff. The owner was super friendly and gave me a good discount so thank you so much. I wish there where more stores like these.

The best electronic music record shop in Paris! Very good collection of both new and second hand records. I'm always pleasantly surprised when digging in the second hand records. And honestly -- Blaise is a really nice guy, it's always a pleasure to spend some time at Syncrophone.

My fiancee came out so happy to have found again some gems (drum and bass), over ten years ago after months we met he had his first browse there (very successful). Now again he came out all smiling again. We will back soon 😁

Even though I didn't purchase anything because I was on a trip to Paris and hurrying, the collection was huge and the owner was very helpful and polite, even offered me coffee! I truly appreciate the hospitality. Thank you!

Could stay here all day.

Techno Import is a great vinyl store! Well selected music for various kinds of electronic music (i.e., techno, house, trance). Lots of options to pre-listen your picks. Personnel was also amazing, very kind and supportive!

Friendly owner, vast selection of techno, acid and electronic music. Lots of turn tables to listen and a nice green tea if you ask.

I stumbled across this place wandering through Paris with my family and stopped in. It's a small shop, but had a good selection. I found an album I'd been wanting to buy for a while, so of course I got it as a nice little souvenir from Paris. Chatted with the owner, who was so nice and invited us to stay for a showcase with local musicians. Unfortunately, we had a dinner reservation we had to get to, and couldn't stick around. Will absolutely be back next time I'm in Paris.

Great record store. A perfect mix of new and vintage 👍

Nice but not great. Too much new vinyl, with old vinyl relegated to the floor. OK if you like new releases but I would spend more and buy original releases where you can. Lots of other cute things on sale. If time is limited, there's lots of better stores to visit in Paris if it's old vinyl you're in for.

Wonderful store! The shop keeper was very helpful. Nice and cosy, just a few steps away from the busy and touristy Montmartre!

Amazing store and great prices! Also the variation of music was amazing. Loved it!

Unfortunately never been there but been buying vinyls (Tribe/tek mainly) from them since forever because Spain has been losing underground record stores fastly. One of the best and most reliable stores to buy music. Love digging music in their website. Long live Toolbox.

The best place if you are looking for underground electronic music. A treasure trove of everything you can not find anywhere else

The best hardcore electronic music vinyl shop in Paris since 1998 that I know who remained in downtown. Tons of references aboard Respect to the hard work providing fresh material all over those years... Thank you French Family Affair 💕❤️

Good selection of techno, dnb and electronic. Helpful service with vast knowledge. Look forward to more purchases in the future.

Huge selection of hard to find vinyl records. Shop owner is very friendly and can speak English.

so easy to order within france!!

Very good j'adore

Super service !

Super site

Super!

Very cool store. Had a lot of stuff I was looking for. Owner was very nice and welcoming. The music playing in the store was great. An excellent recommendation if you are looking for records in Paris.

Scored some amazing records with the best service!

Owner was so welcoming and made me feel at home from the moment I walked in. Great vinyls, great prices. Go here

The owner zeroed in immediately, handed me an absurdly groovy ’70s library record, and dared me not to buy it. I tried to resist. He won. You don’t walk out of this place empty-handed—you crawl out, poorer but richer.

Very nice attention and great records, I big smile welcomes you.

This is a heavy metal, hard rock paradise. The owner is superb. I told him I collect Kiss. He opened a whole box of Kiss collectibles! He is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I will return someday.

Excellent selection. Took me a minute to figure out the organization by sub-genre but the range is vast with a few rare editions priced accordingly. I found things I didn't know I was searching for! Owner is knowledgeable and straightforward.

Rude guy, he accidentally locked me and my partner inside the store and when he finally came back didnt even say anything. No sorry no hello nothing. The prices are also too high, overall wont recommend.

this is the best amazing record shop in paris for metal heads love that shop. the owner was very friendly and i liked it so much i went there 4 times in a week and came home to the states with 25 records from there this is a five star ***** shop thank u rock 'n' roll voltage my friend

Absolutely rude with bad manners. The owner doesn’t know how to treat the clients. I put one star because google doesn’t allow to give a zero.

Fantastic record shop! I found some true classic gems on vinyl, and the selection was excellent. The person working in the shop was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. If you’re a vinyl collector visiting Paris, and you like electronic music, specifically house and techno, this shop is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be back on my next trip!

Must visit! This place is such a cool little record store with so many good finds. Lots of places to listen to records and it’s kind of iconic for Paris. Def worth a visit if you love vinyl.

Although it was an extremely busy day in the shop (in one corner a promo for a new vinyl record was being filmed, while the rest of the team were working on the interior setup), they still found time, one by one, to greet me and ask if I was looking for anything in particular. After our conversation, I even received a vinyl record as a gift. If you happen to be in Paris and you love music, you absolutely have to visit this shop. The atmosphere is incredible and the sound system is truly something special.

One of my favorite places in Paris for sure. The vibe is just beautiful. You can sit to listen the records and there are really good prices.

Awesome collection! Our favorite record store in Paris ❤️ Hidden gem on the 19th arr, but heaven for DJ's am sure. There's a cute coffee spot inside the Art Gallery inside, very cozy
