General bookshops Gironde

France's first independent bookshop is from Bordeaux! Founded in 1886, it's no longer a household name, recognizable by its beautiful blue storefronts. Over an area of 2,500 m², you'll find almost 180,000 references in all fields. Since 2016, the venue has expanded with the creation of Station Ausone, a new 300-seat space at 8 rue de la Vieille Tour, which hosts conferences, exhibitions, book signings and concerts. Nearly 350 events are organized every year and broadcast live on the website.

An independent bookstore has been missing in Mérignac for a long time... It is on the Charles de Gaulle square that we now find it, with this generalist bookstore opened in early 2021. Beautifully named Le Pavé dans la Marge, this store focuses on literature and offers a selection of magazines, comics, novels and children's books, as well as stationery.
