LA BOUQUINERIE ASSOCIATIVE

Bookshop
4/5
1 review

It is true that with a playground as fabulous as the one in the Haut-Adour valley, you might want to crawl along the trails more than to sit quietly with a book, but don't hesitate to cross the threshold of the Bouquinerie Associative. It's a little jewel of its kind and few places have such a beautiful soul. If the shelves are overflowing, the spirit is clear: allow everyone to acquire books, spread the desire to discover them and share the love of words. Novels, stories, humour, thrillers, science fiction and even books in foreign languages: some 15,000 references, for adults and children alike, open their pages to you! In other words, you will find forgotten, sought-after and sometimes rare titles that are no longer published, and you will get to know contemporary or classic authors who may have escaped your notice. The rates are unbeatable, the atmosphere is unique and to read under a tree in the thermal park, it is nevertheless a good idea !

AUPRES DE PYRENE

Bookshop

The Pyrenees are obviously a mountain chain, but did you know that they were such a source of inspiration that culture offered them the term'pyrénéiste '? And if it is a high place of this culture, it is undoubtedly the bagnéraise bookstore! The hotel also offers a wide range of works on the Pyrénéisme, the Locale, the local history, the flora and fauna of the department, the legends of the valleys and the excursions not to be missed for a successful stay. We recommend the little dictionary Atau that's ditz, indispensable if you want to acquire the basics of Occitan. The history of the thermal city is discussed in all its forms and the stories about conquering the summits are exciting. A cultural reference, the bookshop also offers posters, postcards, reproductions of old posters and even some souvenirs, made in Pyrenees of course: … slate, bergers knives, towels...... A beautiful address where the quality and variety of the offer are the image of those who inspired it.
