General bookshops La Rochelle

If you're a lover of literature, you'll find a place here that's becoming a rarity in the city center. Calligrammes is one of the bookshops to take its place right in the heart of La Rochelle. Located on Place de Verdun, it's easy to get to by bus or bike, to pick up the latest literary releases. Under the arcades, you can take your time looking at the window display, which changes with the seasons. Once through the doors, Le Petit Futéloves strolling through the shelves on the first floor. Some of the novels have instructions, a good idea for those who find it hard to choose. Before climbing a few steps, take a look at the regionalism section, with its fine books on La Rochelle and Charente-Maritime. Upstairs, the shelves feature the Poche collection, as well as school and university books. Our specialized sales staff are on hand to answer all your questions and offer personalized advice. Note that the bookshop is small and sometimes a victim of its own success.

The arcades of Rue Chaudrier are one of the best places to stroll in La Rochelle. People come here to buy fashionable clothes and pastries, but also... books! This bookshop makes no secret of the fact that it stocks a wide range of publishers, enabling bibliophiles to indulge their passion at lower cost. Different areas are available, one for fine books (music, history, nature), the other for children's books. Prices are particularly attractive for those looking to treat themselves or find a gift idea.

I love this independent bookstore located just a few steps from the market. Not only the shop window is nice, but the place as a whole is worth a visit. Sandra, Bérengère, Gaëlle and Guillaume - who has just been crowned "bookseller of the year" - make up the team of a festive place where you can go and meet new authors, but also take the time to discover books and read. Head upstairs and its cosy atmosphere, to consult books in this bookstore which is above all a place of solidarity. This policy offers the booksellers a real freedom, to defend the books, but also to select pocket formats at accessible prices.

It's while strolling down a charming street that we find this bookshop, which has been part of the Roche landscape for almost 20 years. You will appreciate the window displaying a selection of books, as well as the warm welcome from a team of passionate booksellers. You will meet Stéphane, a fine connoisseur of literature, convinced that paper books are a real object of desire. Here, the bookseller's job takes on its full meaning! Les Saisons is definitely a place apart, an independent bookstore that is a pleasure to visit.
