Love Shop

A classic of rue Saint-Denis

Love Shop sits at number 283 on this Parisian street, long known for its erotic addresses. Here, the shop has built itself a specific reputation: that of Paris's temple of X-rated film, with a multiplex space of private video booths where you can watch on demand from more than 10,000 titles, also available to buy on DVD.

The shop doesn't stop at viewing. You'll also find everything else you'd expect from a well-stocked sex shop: sex toys, lingerie, lubes, intimate cosmetic products and a range of aphrodisiac products.

The poppers specialty

What comes up often in feedback is the poppers section. It's said to be one of the most complete in the capital, with a choice of brands hard to match elsewhere in the neighborhood.

Combined with the lubes and accessories, that makes Love Shop a practical address for anyone looking for a specific product without having to hit several shops.

Hours and access

The shop is open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 1am, and Sunday from 10am to 10pm. Generous hours that let you drop by late at night as well as during the day.

The access is wheelchair friendly. Entry is reserved for adults aged 18 and over, as in any establishment of this kind. A delivery service exists for those who prefer to order without moving, and parking can be found nearby for visitors arriving by car.

What regulars say

Online reviews mainly stress how clean the booths are, a point that isn't always guaranteed in this type of business. The staff are described as welcoming and discreet, which matters a lot to customers who come here wanting complete discretion.

The variety of films and the depth of the catalog also come up regularly in comments, as does how well stocked the poppers section is. Overall, the trend that emerges is fairly positive, with the shop seen as serious and well kept rather than flashy.
