Loeb-Larocque Rare Maps and Books specializes in maps,
atlases and travel books from the 16th to the 19th century.
 The firm was founded in 1958 by Beatrice's father Louis Loeb-Larocque.
Orginally he arrived in France from Germany shortly after World War II. He
first started an antiquarian map and book shop in Monaco. Then he shortly after
moved to Paris. He built a company
specialized in early maps, atlases, travel books and prints. The
shop was located at Rue Le Peletier in Paris until Beatrice's father's death in 1996, and was frequently visited by collectors and
fellow dealers from all parts of the world.
 Béatrice Loeb-Larocque joined the company
in 1982, after having been interested in books since childhood. The picture on the right
was taken at the 1968 Stutgartt Antiquarian Book Fair.
Since November 1996, Béatrice Loeb-Larocque has been the
expert of the yearly
auction of old maps and views, atlases, prints and
travel books organized by Binoche - Giquello.
 At present, the rare maps and books shop is located
