The best bookshops Landes

Born in Dax, Benoît Lacoste, a former computer engineer with a passion for literature, is back home, and more precisely in Saint-Paul-lès-Dax where he has opened his own bookstore. In fact, the idea had been in his head for quite some time. For his entourage, such a project was almost an evidence. At Les Feuilles Volantes, Benoît Lacoste intends to make a special place for alternative publishing houses, such as Les Forges du Vulcain or Au Diable Vauvert. Let yourself be advised by this lover of writing and reading.

On nearly 600 m², in the middle of pine shelves from the Landes region, former publisher Anthony Clément and his team welcome, guide and advise literature lovers who can enjoy 15,000 titles. More than a bookstore, you are in a "social club café", named after the association that gathers some 350 members around a global cultural project. Literary meetings, book signings with authors, concerts, plays, artists' performances, conferences and movie debates are regularly organized.

Art et Livre is a religious store located in downtown Dax, open for over 100 years. Their project, to evangelize through books, to be at the service of parishes, to answer the needs of all, Christians or not. You will find in the store a large choice of religious books but also Christmas decorations to decorate your crib, or simply a CD or a DVD, with a counselor at your disposal in case of need. The website is also very well supplied and gives many ideas for reading and gifts.

In this "bookshop hut" perched in the middle of the trees, you will have all the leisure to find second-hand books for children and adults at discounted prices, to chat and to be advised by Olga and Michel. You will be able to sit on the large terrace, 3 meters high, to observe nature. Readings, conferences, exhibitions, workshops, courses... The program is rather rich. For the little story, it is Michel, helped by a handful of friends, who built this unusual place with ecological materials. Without forgetting Olga!
