La Hune was a renowned bookstore and art gallery established in 1949 by Bernard Gheerbrant at 170 Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris, within the Saint-Germain-des-Prés quarter of the 6th arrondissement. Today, its legacy continues at a different location as a bookstore-gallery dedicated exclusively to art photography, operated by the French publisher YellowKorner. This modern iteration is situated at 16-18 Rue de l’Abbaye, still within the same historic neighborhood.
