what're some good bookstores in france? I've just activated my international long distance plan, and would like to call some bookstores/other places in order to test my french.

Well, Gilbert Jeune is a wonderful bookstore. Eyrolles is good if you want professional books for a trade, Maison du dictionnaire is a good one for language learners (although Gilbert has one of the largest language sections I've ever seen).

I hope these help. BTW, they're all in Paris.

Gibert Jeune / Gibert Joseph is probably the largest bookstore in Paris for language lovers (whether for Language learning or to find foreign novels).
Here's their website: www.gibertjoseph.com

By the way it's spelled Gibert without the L. Most people pronounce it with the L thinking it's a first name.

i tried some earlier, but no one answered. i'll try later on in the day, it's unlimited calling so i can expose myself to french all i want by just picking up the telephone :p.

the calls are going through though, so that's good... just no one is answering on the other end, i'll try later in the day.
