La Nouvelle Librairie

Opened in July 2018 under the leadership of François Bousquet with an identitarian, far-right orientation, the bookstore ultimately closed again in May 2024 due to financial difficulties.

Initially associated with the monarchist Action Française, under Georges Valois it became the birthplace of the Cercle Proudhon[1] an effort to attract individuals from socialism and revolutionary syndicalism.

By 1927, Valois distanced himself from fascism, pivoting the bookstore towards social and economic theory until its closure in 1932 during the Great Depression[citation needed].

In July 2018, the bookstore reopened at 11 Rue de Médicis under the name La Nouvelle Librairie, spearheaded by François Bousquet.

[8] In August 2019, the Éditions de La Nouvelle Librairie was established, gaining prominence within identitarian right-wing circles with over 100 titles published by 2022.
