Frenchmen Art & Books

Criminally underrated! A quaint gem on an otherwise bustling street. Stumbled upon this book store at 9 PM on a Wednesday. Excellent curation covering gender, sexuality, queer identity, race, music, NOLA history, labor, politics, community and so much more, with plenty of art! Good for gifts.

Accidentally stumbled on this cozy little gem, and when I tell you I could have spent hours in there, I mean it. As tourist and small-town local author, I totally nerded out in the local author section, bought 4 books, and eagerly had them all stamped. I thought the staff was chill, and the atmosphere was great. If I lived in their time zone, I’d 10/10 want a job there. Huge props for an absolute highlight of my NOLA adventure!

I've frequented many Nola area bookstores & this one is by far, one if not the best, there is! IMO! Unique, FUN selection, & really great locals collection. SO many fun things to look at! Really enjoyed my chat with the shop keep, too!

Small but very interesting book store. Lots of fun books and unique items. Highly recommended!

Amazingly good curation of quality books! Every time I go there I find a book I didn’t know I needed. It must be very hard to run such an impeccably clean establishment on a street where the majority of people are drunk. Frenchmen Art & Books helps make Frenchmen’s Street one of the greatest little streets in America: great music, great drinks, great artists market, great record store and a great bookstore! ❤️
