The best philosophy and literature cafés Finistère

Part children's bookshop, part tearoom, part patisserie, this atypical boutique transports you into a warm atmosphere. Guided by the tempting scent of delicious pastries, you'll discover a selection of children's books as well as young local designers. There's also a dedicated children's area, where children can read and play, and a small workshop for the gourmet storytelling sessions Anne regularly organizes. A lovely place to visit with the whole family, where sharing, caring and joie de vivre are the order of the day.

What an incongruous name... But don't be mistaken... it is the place of relaxation and meetings that all the Pontecrucians were waiting for. Barely opened, it has conquered the hearts of the inhabitants of the region, for its excellent choice of books, but also for its delicious home-made pastries. Located in the former prison of the upper town, this bookshop café also offers exhibitions. It is the place to take a break after walking through the beautiful streets of this city of character, or after a hike along the Goyen.

More than a bookshop, it is a meeting place. Created by a Belgian couple who fell in love with the Bigouden country, this café has added to the already rich commercial offer of the city. You will find all kinds of films, but with a strong preference for works related to cinema. In partnership with the cinema of Kérity, exchanges are proposed all year long. Thus you can attend a concert, meet an author or debate around a theme. The menu offers coffee and tea, organic wines, local and Belgian beers and snacks.

A new meeting place has opened its doors in Plougastel! Elisabeth & Jo is an unusual store, at the same time a bookshop, a tea room and a workshop café. Every week, animations are programmed: initiation to weaving, art workshops, café-philo... When you are in Brittany, don't hesitate to pass through the door of this charming place to sip a hot chocolate, to savor a good cookie with a fascinating novel. Here, all the products on the menu are local, selected with great care. A place as we like them.

Isolated in central Brittany, Huelgoat attracts many visitors all year round. And deservedly so, given its rich heritage. Did you know? Jack Kerouac, the leading writer of the Beat Generation, had distant origins in the Huelgoat region. It's only natural that this café-library should pay tribute to him by adopting the title of his most famous book. Victor Segalen is another literary figure with links to the commune. Come and discover these two authors, as well as many others, at this café-library.
