M´LIRE

General bookshop
4/5
1 review

This is a store with many fans, readers who, for nothing in the world, would not buy a book other than Rue de la Paix! This commitment is due to the passionate professionalism of the team (Simon, Delphine and Guillaume) co-managed by Marie Boisgontier, who learned the profession here, from the time of the Bussy Library. If the general literature is one of the hobby of the house, it is also the case of the one devoted to youth, science-fiction and the comic strip (in 2011, M'Read joined the network of independent bookshops specialized in Art. Still active, this bookstore organizes throughout the year multiple signing sessions that demonstrate that the book is not, will never be a product like another. Finally, she also sells mangas, Cds and vinyl.

A few years ago, this beautiful thirty-year-old bookshop became a SCOP (cooperative and participative company), through its parent company (Sadel). A cooperative and participative company in which the employees themselves are the main shareholders. A place, therefore, faithful to certain democratic and secular values. Novels, detective stories, biographies, essays, art books, comics: Angevine readers will find plenty here to quench their thirst for both new releases and classics. The store also boasts an extensive stationery section.

Often derided as a "cultural supermarket", Fnac's bookstore is nonetheless a pleasant, well-appointed place, rich in references in every theme, where the best sellers of the moment as well as the booksellers' favorites are highlighted. Indeed, far from being mere salesmen, the employees of this giant are first and foremost enthusiasts who know their shelves inside out, and are never stingy with good advice. And if you're short of a particular item, you can always place an order.

A nod to the wonderful novel by Émile Ajar aka Romain Gary, this pretty bookshop is located in the vibrant rue Joffre.

And the result is particularly successful. No doubt you will find inspiring books: French and foreign literature, travel and tourism, practical life, human sciences, essays and news, comics, arts, children's books in French and English...

LA PRESSE ET LE LIVRE

General bookshop

It is one of the oldest bookstores laval since it has known - and cohabited with - all the major brands that have occupied the former Jesuit land in Saint-Michel over the last 1968 years transformed into a hypermarket in: Suma, Mammoth ("écrase prices! »), Stoc, Champion and, for several years, Carrefour Market. Of course, we do not find in this bookstore all the books that may be of interest to us, but we know that there will necessarily be all those who are spoken at the time we are going. It is, however, safe to find all the titles of the French press (including the so-called sulfureux newspapers: Charlie Hebdo on one side and Rivarol on the other). Thanks to the stationery radius, mothers can also buy the supplies that the teacher asked his students. Finally, the house is also carterie and offering some gift ideas that can get smiles of contentment at the foot of the Christmas tree.

MYRIAGONE

General bookshop

The myriagon? A polygon with ten thousand sides, synonymous with a multiplicity of points of view and an extremely vast world, which we never stop discovering... An excellent choice of name for this atypical bookshop, with a small bar area. Andreas, the store's proprietor, works on a "coup de coeur" basis, sorting his books by associations of ideas: atypical works of French literature, theater, poetry, essays, comics, art books... And what a pleasure it is, in fine weather, to leaf through them all over a coffee, smoothie or homemade milkshake!

LISE & MOI

Lise & Moi is the story of two booksellers by training and profession - Anne-Lise and Marion - who joined forces to open their own bookshop in mid-2014. Located in the town of Vertou, it is the only independent bookstore belonging to the ALIP network (Association des Librairies Indépendantes de Pays de la Loire) in the area. So, it has quickly found its readers, especially since the young women have only one idea in mind: to democratize books: "We would like it to be as easy to buy a book as a loaf of bread. We are accessible to everyone. In their shelves, more than 11,000 references: novels, thrillers, essays, comics... but also a large choice of books for children. There is also a stationery corner with pretty notebooks and pencils and a range of educational and family games (puzzles, board games, etc.).
