Albertine Books (New York City's French Bookstore) Upper East Side NYC French Language Store, Gifts

Albertine Bookstore is the place to go in Manhattan for French language books and books translated from French to English. Located on the Upper East Side in the historical Payne Whitney House (972 Fifth Avenue), Albertine Books has become an unlikely tourist attraction for visitors seeking a piece of authentic New York City. Besides a wide variety of French language books and books written by French speaking authors, Albertine stocks unique gifts and hosts author discussions and a book club. Albertine is perhaps best known for its hand-painted mural of constellations, stars, and planets. This breathtaking ceiling can be seen on the second floor of the bookstore.

I've always look forward to seeing this bookstore especially the interior design that they are known for, the ceiling painted with the constellation. It was so beautiful! 🌠💫 I wasn't expecting the Venetian room, I've read that t's a rare surviving piece of New York's Gilded age.
oh i saw in the video Le Petit Prince is in Braille too! I hope you enjoyed visiting the Albertine. 😉I had great time when I was there too. 😍
