The best bookshops Brittany

Just down rue Ernest Renan, near the port, L'Histoire vagabonde offers a vast collection of second-hand and antiquarian books. We may be surprised to find one of our favorite childhood books, or fall for a superb art book, or an old edition of a literary classic. Every field has its own section: history, humanities, literature, geography, even fishing! Upstairs, one room is devoted entirely to history books, the other to paperbacks sold for a pittance. The store impresses with its extensive shelving. It's not unusual to feel a twinge of nostalgia when rediscovering forgotten collections... The atmosphere of the old building makes it all the more tempting to spend hours unearthing little treasures. Don't forget your backpacks - you're likely to come away with a heavy load!

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. Philosophy, fortune-telling, relaxation, psychology, divinatory arts, martial arts, novels... everyone can find the ideal book to help them feel reborn and positive. No matter what you're looking for, the bookseller will always have a dozen or so books to recommend to you, with a genuine desire to make you happy. It's almost impossible to leave the store without a pile of books in your arms, and the feeling that you've had a great time.

Located just a hundred meters from the TNB, Ty Bull... Tome 2 is one of the best comic book shops in Rennes, with well-stocked shelves covering all genres. A book section(heroic fantasy, thrillers) has even been developed. The bookshop also sells goodies, figurines, posters, T-shirts, etc. It's a place where you can talk to the booksellers and other customers, exchange tips and share your love of sequential art. The bookshop underwent a facelift in 2023 with the collaboration of an ironmonger. The result: a more airy, luminous space in water-green tones that make you want to stay even longer.

This bookshop is a local symbol: it has become one of the largest independent bookshops in France! Dialogues takes you on a real journey.

Espace, master word du Grenier. We are here a long way from the image of the librairie library of stacks where the search is a dangerous exercise!

Located in a post-war building of 1948, the Sesame Bookstore, also known as Librairie bookstore (because Mr. Fiévez for more than 30 years) is above all a bouquinerie, a pre-owned bookstore (which says an opportunity does not necessarily mean old) and the nine, which offers a series of series for a reduced price. And here, the great speciality of the house is not to have it! From police to comics, from novels to biographies through youth literature… there are for all tastes. And with nearly 50.000 books in store, the papivores will no longer know where to give your head! Finally, lovers and collectors of figurines will be filled as the Sésame Librairie offers a wide selection of numbered collections (Leblon Delienne, Aroutcheff, Pixi…) with the possibility of ordering.

Parents, children and friends discover a universe dedicated to youth literature. This bookstore, all in colour, brings together several small publishing houses, which are the subject of citizenship, which are all freedom to choose a book, an album that one would like to offer or read. The place lends itself to the leisure moments of the big and the big ones who enjoy browsing a book, are charmed by such a funny story or this entertaining product (puppets, suitcase, deck, disk). Big classics or latest news, novels, birth albums, books to listen or animated books, they display shelves from shelves. If you have a specific request, please do not hesitate to ask the bookseller who knows the treasures of his collections and the nature of his supplies.
