.. no, in a word. The best by far is the museum shop at Le Bourget. Most of the museums have reasonable selections of general military history. All the others such as the Histoires et Collections shop and the Aviation bookshop have gone - a little disappointing for a city with supposedly more than 600 bookshops..

Is "Maison du Livre Aviation" not in Paris now? It's web-page says it's is still at Blvd Malesherbes - perhaps check before visiting.

Its been a decade since my last visit, but they had a clearance and 2nd hand corner in the area downstairs.

It closed 3 years ago and despite being online, the website is no longer active.

Ten years ago there were 3 bookshops where you could find spezialized military books: Maison de l'Aviation, Armes et Collections, Heimdal. All three are gone.
