Librairie Loeb-Larocque specializes in maps, atlases, and travel books from the 16th to 19th centuries. The Librairie 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. He built a company that specialized in early maps, atlases, travel books and prints. The shop was located at Rue Le Peletier in Paris until Béatrice's father's death in 1996, and was frequently visited by collectors and fellow dealers from all parts of the world. At present, the office is located at 31 rue de Tolbiac in Paris in the lively 13th district, a 5-minute walk from the Bibliothéque Nationale de France (Metro Line 14) Visitors are welcome to our shop by appointment, Monday through Friday.

There is no easy answer to this question. Some books or maps have, without question, appreciated considerably in value of the years. Others have remained steadily desirable without seeing a significant rise in price, and still others can be purchased for little money but give great personal satisfaction. Librairie Loeb-Larocque, with 60 years of experience in the rare map and book trade, can help you decide what kind of collection you would like to build
