Wide choice of contemporary books and objects by French designers.
The bookstore gives pride of place to books that feature the artists being exhibited, photography, architecture, graphic design, comics, children’s lit, novels, essays… whatever tickles our publishers’ fancy. Items crafted by French designers are also showcased: posters, postcards, stationery, decorative items, and more. The bookstore also offers a monthly programme of events: book signings, workshops, exhibitions, meetings with authors, artists, and publishers.

Nantes is transforming
Nantes is changing to become an even more ecological, inclusive, and dynamic city. To do this, new public works will reinforce our already existing ecofriendly modes of transport: new tram lines, green zones for pedestrians and cyclists, and more. From 2024, these major urban projects will disrupt traffic around Les Machines de l’Île and Parc des Chantiers, with the Pont Anne-de-Bretagne bridge closed off to cars (the bridge will remain accessible to pedestrians and cyclists). Solutions will be offered throughout construction to make it easier for everyone to get around, like: increased frequency of several public transport lines, more Naolib bike-share bicycles, and more parking spots in park-and-ride lots.
