Record shops Ile-De-France

You won't find another record shop like it in Paris. Christophe Lepreux, a former music salesman with a major chain of stores, ended up opening this unique place: La Cuve à Son, after years of fine-tuning his project. Before I talk about the music, let me confirm that, from the name of the place, you'll have understood that here, you can buy fine wines. As for sound, there's a vast choice: world, soul, French chanson... nothing's missing! Plenty of vinyl and, much rarer, a wide selection of cassettes.

This record store is one of the safe values of the capital in pop, rock and variety. It has the largest French catalog on Mylène Farmer (1,500 references!). Other artists are particularly spoiled here: Madonna (over 1,500 references), Michael Jackson (400 references), Céline Dion (400 references) or Britney Spears (900 references). And more than 300 other artists (Gainsbourg, Johnny…) are also referenced. Ilevo Music only sells official products, hunts rare pieces and releases its finds at relatively reasonable prices. Fans of the greatest stars will surely find the pearl that will bring them closer to their idol, whether in the form of a vinyl or a leather jacket.

It's a splendid place, the fruit of a talented designer's imagination: black ceiling, vast armchairs, in short, something to have a drink in. This is precisely what this renowned record store now offers, in addition to selling hundreds of references - vinyl records only, displayed like works of art on the walls. The place is certainly chic, but also very trendy: you can drink healthy juices, organic teas or gluten-free cakes. But don't worry: the fundamentals remain the same: advice and choice are always excellent.

Imparable for fans of what is sometimes called "gay musical icons": this record store offers in its shelves the hits and albums of Madonna (especially), Mylène Farmer, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears. The nostalgic ones will also be able to put in hand some collectors (CD and vinyl) of Sylvie Vartan, Marylin Monroe or Dalida, among others. Of course, the offer is not limited to female artists since you can also find Pet Shop Boys, George Michael or Boy George.

An institution for music lovers of all kinds. The famous store on Boulevard Saint-Michel boasts a vast surface area on several levels. The recipe is always the same: new and second-hand vinyl, DVDs and CDs, with many nuggets that you won't find anywhere else, provided you have enough time to find them. Ideally, come here during the day, on weekdays, when the crowds are a little lighter. It has also become a must for fans of comics and manga.

This independent record store will appeal to all rock lovers! Our regulars will tell you: it's impossible to leave Born Bad empty-handed if you're at all sensitive to punk rock, garage, post-punk, ska, new wave, or electro-rock. The vinyl you'll find here is virtually impossible to find anywhere else, not least because the company has its label and produces its releases. And if you need to make a name for yourself in this milieu, this is also the place to go...

Well-known among vinyl lovers, this neighborhood boutique offers a wide and beautiful selection, both new and used. Jazz, funk, soul, bossa nova, salsa, reggae, Afro... the owners are connoisseurs of the finest music, so it's hardly surprising that they specialize in a wide range of styles. A warm welcome and a cosy atmosphere... all that's left to do is find that special someone. Turntables are available on site for listening. Superfly Records also has its own label, producing reissues that are much appreciated by connoisseurs. If you're looking for vinyl and good advice: this is the address for you!
