The best bookshops Senegal

The best bookstore in Dakar! A maze of culture that reveals its secrets along its shelves. There's no need to be in a hurry when you visit this generalist bookshop, which is basically very comprehensive. You come for one thing, you leave with another. What's more, the organisation is professional and the welcome is very pleasant. Another even more spacious premises in the Ouakam district, where dedications, meetings with authors, exhibitions and conferences are regularly organised. To be discovered.

Gilles has returned to his first love, his bookstore with a wealth of rare books, second-hand novels of Western literature, African sculptures, newspapers from the end of the last century, limited edition postcards and books on African culture. One comes to stroll, perhaps to find the rare pearl, in this cultural place which also hosts exhibitions. And if you go even further, in the inner courtyard, you'll discover singular wrought-iron sculptures, works by Meïssa Fall. A place not to be missed!

First stationery, the owner expanded his field of activity by proposing a bookstore space offering nearly 1 000 titles, most of them in French.
