In spaces, probably larger than you can imagine from the outside, covered with books, there is something for all tastes, all desires. New and classic French and foreign literature, essays, books on the arts and shows, trips also with beautiful books and guides to explore France and the world. Notes from booksellers who indicate the books they like. Comic strips and children's books offer other pleasures.

Whether we are believers or not, we all believe that reading can cure many ills (words?). And it's a good thing, because in Latin Procurare means "to give care to". On Place Bellecour, it is impossible to miss the beautiful blue façade of this bookstore known for its speciality in the field of religions (religious history, church and society, sacred arts, hagiographies, catechesis, liturgy...). Warm atmosphere, luminous glass roof in this 180^m2 space perfectly arranged. Experts, the salesmen are informed and passionate readers who have very broad cultural skills, towards spirituality but also towards more general works. Take care of yourself.

A nugget for all book lovers. This small bookstore has everything of a big one and it is a place where readers particularly like to meet the authors, with a nice selection made by enthusiasts. Vast choice in many fields - French and foreign literature, classical and contemporary, poetry, theatre, cookery books, fine arts, comic strips... The opportunity to broaden your literary horizons and to feed your curiosity. A door to push, a path to take to show the way in every chapter.

It all starts by passing through the book arch at the entrance before plunging into a veritable forest of paper. Here, titles not seen elsewhere grow, selected by authentic "passionate booksellers-readers" who are interested in all publishers, even the unknowns. It is at the Bal des Ardents that you will make real discoveries from among more than 30,000 references thanks to the personalised advice of "bookmasters". The other pleasure is the gallery where exhibitions follow one another. Enjoy yourself at the Bal des Ardents!

Open since 1996, Librairie des Canuts has undergone a facelift at the start of 2024. But if the bookshop will be even more beautiful to welcome you in the best conditions, what won't change is the passion of the team of booksellers to guide you through a selection of books in all fields. Starting with Lyon, since Librairie des Canuts has the best selection of books on the city. Get away from it all: French and general literature, comics, a well-stocked children's section, classics, pocket books in the prestigious La Pléiade collections, historical works, and an excellent travel section with the best travel guides. A favorite.

A neighborhood bookshop on the slopes where families should come. For the past 18 years, A Titre d'Aile has been welcoming our children to give them a taste for reading, offering a selection of comics, books and other specialized works. At the helm of this little world, Céline helps us find what we're not looking for (we love that phrase). Booksellers who speak to parents and children in a beautiful space, on the sofa with a book in hand or in the games corner. An independent bookshop, a place for sharing, where books give life. Excellent advice from real enthusiasts. We love the exhibitions and the many meetings with authors.
