Since 1958
The book shop Librairie Loeb-Larocque was founded in 1958 by Béatrice's father Louis Loeb-Larocque. Originally he arrived in France from Germany shortly after World War II. He first started an antiquarian map and book shop in Paris. The shop was located at Rue Le Peletier in Paris until Béatrice's father's death in 1996.
At present, the office is located at 31 rue de Tolbiac in Paris in the lively 13th district, a 5-minute walk from the Bibliothèque Nationale de France Visitors are welcome to visit our shop by appointment only from Monday through Friday.

Collection of geological maps
A unique collection of geological or soil maps. The collection includes maps of all parts of the world.
There is something about geological maps from the early twentieth century! Their colors seem more vivid than those of modern maps. Even their legends are more interesting: geological maps are special-purpose maps made to show geological features. Rock units or geologic strata are shown by color or symbols to indicate where they are exposed at the surface.
