It is always with a great pleasure that we stroll in the middle of the bins and the shelves of this bookshop which constitutes the biggest collection of comics in Brittany. The parquet floor creaks under each of our steps and the abundance of works which surrounds us gives dizziness. To orientate us, the store has just set up a new signposting. We can easily spot the new releases, the comics, the SF section, the classics, the children's comics, the merchandising, but there is nothing better than the advice of the booksellers to transport you into exciting stories and to give you their favorites. Follow the news on the networks to note the dates of the meetings and dedications.

Today, personal development, particularly through feel-good books, is widespread, but for over 35 years La Rose Mystique has been the temple of zen and well-being, nestling in a street with an evocative name, rue Bonne Nouvelle.

In the shop window, it is almost hard to believe that you are dealing with a real optician, so much so that certain pairs of glasses on display seem to be pure aberrations or out of a science-fiction film. Inside, Fabienne welcomes us with a big smile and takes us on an immediate tour of her shop. Everywhere, pairs of glasses, all original. There is even a small room at the back, in the shape of a living room with, displayed on the coffee table, in the fridge, on the TV, glasses, always, of all shapes, of all colours, from various designers. A real museum!

Here, we take our time to find the frame that suits our looks as well as our personality. Advice comes first and it is possible to take out a loan for a few days if you ever doubt your choice.
