The best bookshops Cahors

Béatrice Jacques and Etienne Cronier recently took over the Librairie Ancienne Rapaud, an Old Cahors institution, and renamed it La Petite Faiseuse de Livres. Here, you can smell the scent of old books, and look up along walls covered from floor to ceiling with old and second-hand books. The store has a corner for every field: literature, history, architecture, comics and the Quercy region, which the bookshop specializes in.

This general bookshop has been accompanying readers in Cadur for decades. A place of exchange, proximity and a real cultural player in the town, Calligramme is one of the shops that cannot be ignored. A place of passage, of mixing, it regularly invites authors to come and meet their public, or organizes exhibitions within its walls. A fine arts space as well as a manga and comic book room are installed in the basement. With its wooden case and its magnificent spiral staircase, this bookshop is a beauty!

Rare works (a th century Bible), numerous references to materials of local bibliography, and this at all prices is the bet of this discreet but complete shop, which offers its advice in the cozy atmosphere of real lovers of the book.
