Specialized bookstores Midi-Pyrénées

For the past ten years, this bookshop specialized in comics has also been a tea room. It is possible to have a coffee, to have a snack or to have lunch while leafing through the latest Riad Satouf or Joann Sfar book. Mangas, adult comics, classics, comics, youth catalog, Sébastien and Alexandre offer comics for all readers. Passionate about vignettes and bubbles, they follow authors and their news closely and will be able to recommend the latest novel not to be missed.

Twenty years ago, the Terra Nova bookshop set up shop in the Pink City, between the Capitole and the Garonne. This beautiful bookshop specializing in literature from near and far offers real invitations to travel for "globe-readers". Books are either translated into French or sold in their original versions: Asian, African and West Indian literature... Terra Nova is more than just a change of scenery: it's also a place for reflection, where you can revisit politics, history and economics in the light of authors from not-so-distant lands. Stories of struggle as well as comics, poetry and children's literature open an extra-large window on the world.

This is a bookstore quickly becoming indispensable. Get into the bubble paradise! On your right, the wisely aligned mangas awaits lovers. On your left, discover the novelties, carefully chosen by a team of superbooksellers (it's like superheroes but with books and without stickers). Then move forward to find the suites of your favorite series and graphic novels. At the bottom is a beautiful space for young people. A small café, accompanied during the beautiful days of a tiny patio, welcomes you to eat your readings on site. A real point: BD Fugue organizes meetings with authors very regularly. We love it!

All the main names of the contemporary BD are present and, next to the new books, a radius, smaller for the used comics. If you are looking for a particular author or album, please do not hesitate to ask Jean-François and Olivier, they have been there for 15 years and the BD is their idleness. Regularly you can meet the authors and designers during the signatures. The Petit in the Bulle is a small, small and small tirage, signed by their author, and offered to you during the publication of the album.

Au Vieux Campeur stores feature a bookshop dedicated to sports tourism, with guides, maps, coffee-table books, magazines and a small selection of videos focused mainly on France, and here on the nearby Canal du Midi. Located in the Innopole shopping center in Labège, on the outskirts of Toulouse, Le Vieux Campeur toulousain also provides walking shoes, walking sticks, water bottle, energy bars and all the gear of the perfect hiker, or even pilgrim. A good spot before setting off along the canal.

The department's only bookshop specializing in books in and about Catalan, in other words the reference in the field, has been in Perpignan for over 30 years. Joan-Miquel, a Catalan culture enthusiast and bookseller, will provide you with information on the two Catalan regions. His shop window and small Catalan-speaking area present 7,000 titles a year in Catalan and French. In the store and online, you'll find many bilingual books, French and Catalan, dictionaries and learning materials, CDs, DVDs, vinyl and games.

A space of 150 m², a real kingdom of mushrooms, and also of nature. Mushrooms in all their forms and culinary preparations, but also a literary space with books on botanical identification, health, fairy tales and castles... Every morning, before the shop opens, Delphine goes out to collect the mycological species that she presents in her mushroom exhibition. An original concept that the Futé loves!

At the bottom of Gambetta, on the side of the Jardin de la Fontaine, a specialist in Paulhan's work, Jean-Yves Lacroix, also specialist in surrealism, gives material to read to nîmois oeuvre. You can also find a book signed by the author, an original photograph of Paulhan (for example) or, via his broker, a manuscript, a correspondence that he puts on sale in the catalogues he offers to whole France. But La Clams is also old photos, magazines, autographes, and rare posters for savvy and passionate collectors. Everything can be bought or sold.

To practice this sport in Nîmes or (almost) all around the world, simply deposit a book in a public place, hoping it will be found, read and then released after having been "reported" on the Site. Created in 2001 by Ron Hornbaker, the site keeps track of the books of the book and thus offers successive discoverers and readers the opportunity to comment on it and to link knowledge through countries forums. Thus, the small community of nîmois nîmois leaves regularly forums and keyboards for meet-up, non-virtual meetings at the restaurant or in bars. The book as a means of meeting? Not bad! The bookcrosser may also "release" a book in a public place by hiding it; only the site's regulars will know the cache. There is also bookring, for the most careful: the persons interested in the work register to receive it by mail and form a chain so that the work, once passed in all hands, returns to sender. Excellent all this, but I wonder: bookcrossing, bookcrosser, bookring, book? We talk about French literature, tell me?

One of the great addresses to advise the oeuvre. There is a certain romanticism to devote its space only to old books, to the depleted editions as this shop does. There is certainly a little Bohemian in the layout of a stock where ancient engravings (some of Goya from the famous War Disasters series) tightly contrasting precious manuscripts, beautiful historical works and large volumes of starched. But more than romanticism, bohemian and inspiration, it is one of the same passion for writing that we want to speak here, and invite to share. We like the old book book that is old fashioned, which allows you to find beautiful editions at low prices.

It was Sylvie Moretto who picked up the bookshop and the faithful of the place of Jean-Michel Asciak don't have to see great difference: the shop did not change. Fans, large and small, always throw themselves on the bd and mangas who make the store reputation. Sylvie is a real pleasure to advise you, to guide you, to make you discover or to order for you the desired series. The Bubble remains a beautiful place, alive and playful, where it makes good come to farfouiller or complete its comic collection.

When you tell you that the city centre is devastated! The bookstore has no longer on the street, but Jean Rouchaléou continues his business consulting and sale over the Internet, he has no such thing to find the book totally unavailable. Impossible is not Rouchaléou!

Located in the heart of Toulouse, this bookshop has specialized in the sale of French and Occitan books for 60 years. At first, the shelves were filled with general books sold by mail order, before an Occitan section was added, focusing on regionalism, history, literature and collectors' books. In 2000, Jérôme Thourel took over the family bookshop, and the Occitan section continues to expand with educational material, children's books, fairy tales and poetry.
