Children's bookshops Midi-Pyrénées

Water Live, we like children, we are a fan! This charming boutique shop and educational shop has everything to attract the most difficult pedagogues. The proof shows a full range of teachers from primary and especially (!) kindergarten. Here you will find books (beautiful and smart), company games, wooden toys with lovely retro look and excellent quality, stationery of the same vein, doudous to fall on the ground and make a whim to an adult… In short, a whole bunch of entertaining and educational objects that can relate to youth, from cradle to… frankly… 99 years.

Tire-Lire is an independent children's bookshop belonging to the "librairie Sorcière" network! Don't be fooled, it's just the name given to members of the Association des Librairies Spécialisées Jeunesse! Among other things, this membership means we're well informed about new releases from small, independent and talented publishers. A pledge of biblio-diversity beneficial to little story devourers! Little ones... or not so little ones, because teenagers haven't been forgotten! Meetings and activities are on offer, as well as writing, collage and origami workshops!

Open since early 2023, this children's bookshop also doubles as a tearoom, offering delicious home-made pastries. Run by a mother-daughter bookseller duo, this atypical boutique has been designed as a warm and welcoming place, where books are carefully chosen to offer a quality selection, mostly from independent publishers. They also offer a whole range of workshops to stimulate the creativity and imagination of the very young (reading, musical awakening, crafts and cooking). Advance registration recommended.

Leave the hypercentre and cross the river to Saint-Cyprien: that's where Les Petits Ruisseaux makes big rivers! This is the perfect place to add to your collection of the adventures of Violette Mirgue, the heroic little mouse from Toulouse, for example. From cloth books to first readings, from teen novels to comics, mangas, comic books and creative hobbies, there's plenty to feed your desire to devour books and frantically add to your library. Meetings, workshops, book signings: a lively venue on the Left Bank.
