Predecessor
Predecessor
The Nouvelle Librairie nationale initially specialized in nationalist publications, offering a catalog of nearly 300 titles critical of the Third Republic. Initially associated with the monarchist Action Française, under Georges Valois it became the birthplace of the Cercle Proudhon an effort to attract individuals from socialism and revolutionary syndicalism. After founding Le Faisceau in 1925, Georges Valois severed ties with Charles Maurras and Action française. The Nouvelle Librairie nationale became Valois's property, renamed Librairie Valois, and briefly served as a publishing house for Le Faisceau authors and fascist theorists (1925–1928). By 1927, Valois distanced himself from fascism, pivoting the bookstore towards social and economic theory until its closure in 1932 during the Great Depression.

In July 2018, the bookstore reopened at 11 Rue de Médicis under the name La Nouvelle Librairie, spearheaded by François Bousquet. Supported by the journal Éléments, the bookstore also drew on inventory from the former Facta bookstore, associated with Emmanuel Ratier. The bookstore faced multiple acts of vandalism. In April 2024, François Bousquet announced the impending closure of the bookstore. Financial challenges led to its final closure on May 28, 2024.
