LIBRAIRIE LE PORT DE TÊTE
Read moreAn absolutely brilliant independent bookstore with also a very interesting selection of rare and out of print books. It must be said that all booksellers participate in the development of the collection, whether it is new or used. We have chosen here to explore the field of quality, originality and good taste. Without a doubt, it was a success! Also, several events such as poetry readings, launches, meetings and others are frequently organized.
SAINT-HENRI BOOKS
Read moreLocated in a quiet street in the Saint-Henri district, this independent bookstore offers a wide selection of literature for adults and children, in English and French. Anthony Benda, who also owns the café-resto-bar Córdova located a few meters away (good to know: for every book bought, a coffee is offered!), wanted to make this place a real meeting place. A reading corner has been set up as well as a nice terrace at the back. Monthly book club and events (check the website).
