Clémence and Mario, who are both passionate about literature, particularly children's literature, decided to open a general bookshop selling books in English, Spanish, Basque and French. One of the special features of the shop is the comments - and even reviews - written by the readers themselves on certain books. Children will find books, comics and mangas, as well as a play area with wooden toys and a vintage arcade game.
