L'EAU ET LES RÊVES
Read moreOpened in 2018 L'eau et les rêves is a café-library located on a 1950s barge. Transformed into a bookstore in 1980, it sailed from adventure to adventure until it was taken over by Cyrille Bruneau, who made it a place of knowledge and exchange around nature, plants and gardens. The books offered cover a wide range of fields: landscaping, horticulture, seeds, botanical drawing... Those interested in natural well-being will find many references on sylvotherapy, ancestral recipes such as those of Hildegarde de Bingen... This atypical place also offers events: workshops (plant painting, terrariums), presentations, conferences... We love it!
QUAI DES SONGES
Read moreThis bookshop specializing in comics replaced the MK2 Quai de Loire cinema bookshop a few months ago. In this vast, sober space, with a breathtaking view over the Bassin de la Villette, you'll find countless references in manga (fans are not mistaken), comics, novels, but also many board games or creative toys, as well as stationery items. The store is open non-stop from Monday to Sunday, and there are plenty of good reasons to drop in for a browse or to pick up a book.
LE DRAGON SAVANT

At the origin of a bookstore, with workshops and reading readings, the shop has enriched itself from games of society and other toys coming mainly from Germany, the country of the "alternative" and pedagogical, and finally the children love!

POLLEN
Read moreThe village spirit of the Jourdain district is also due, in addition to the multiplicity of local shops, to the presence of pretty boutiques on rue de la Villette. And it's an understatement to say that Pollen contributes to this atmosphere. Because the two stores grouped under this pretty name offer all kinds of beauty: shoes, accessories and jewelry on one side, women's fashion on the other. Carole Sofia, who brilliantly manages the two stores, has managed to make them two pretty cocoons where you immediately feel good. Tastefully sourced, the products are rare, the brands (Veja, Sessün, Bellerose...) of quality and the advice here is not an empty word. Beware: this sure value continues to rise.
