It is a short street with many bookshops on both sides however the amount of english books is very limited. Have a stop in one of the colourful coffeeshops enjoy a nice cuppa.

Worth visiting. Allot of really nice coffee shops and good priced books in various languages. This is down a side street and therefore shady which is a nice escape from the intense sunshine.

We passed along this quaint street shortly after visiting the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office. Pedestrians only with a selection of bookshops and cafes. Nice enough if you're already in the vicinity.

Visited the street as I was looking for a Medical English/Vietnamese dictionary. Unfortunately, after walking the entire street and inquiring from all the store, no one was able to help me - ? cannot speak English. Most of the books, as expected was Vietnamese.
