Tucked inside the historic Payne Whitney mansion, Albertine is the only bookshop in New York City which is the most beautiful and devoted solely to books in French and English with more than 14,000 contemporary and classic titles from 30 French-speaking countries.

In partnership with the Cultural Services, Albertine hosts lively debates and discussions exploring popular and classical culture through a modern and global lens.

French books at Albertine comply with the French law that states that book prices cannot be reduced more than 5 percent. Fixed book prices protect a rich network of publishers and booksellers in France and nourish its “biblio-diversity”

When entering the building, make sure to view the centrepiece, a replica of Michelangelo’s Young Archer. 

Fostering their mission to make French literature available to American audiences from coast to coast, Albertine partners with select bookstores across the country to create “French Corners,” curated selections of French and Francophone titles.

The Albertine is located at 972 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10075 and is is accessible by subway (4, 5, 6 trains at 86th Street and 6 train at 77th Street) and by bus (M79, M1, M2, M3, M4).
