An independent bookshop specializing in detective novels, with over 3,000 titles, created by Jean-Pierre Barrel, an enthusiast of the genre. The advantage is that you can read your detective novel from a deckchair overlooking the Grande Côte. The Pentes district is not all gloom and doom when you're sipping tea, chocolate, coffee or a cold drink. Events revolving around detective fiction, for example, with meetings and themes to explore. A popular Petit Noir to be enjoyed on every page.

It all starts by passing through the book arch at the entrance before plunging into a veritable forest of paper.

It is at the Bal des Ardents that you will make real discoveries from among more than 30,000 references thanks to the personalised advice of "bookmasters". The other pleasure is the gallery where exhibitions follow one another. Enjoy yourself at the Bal des Ardents!

A TITRE D'AILE

Childrens bookshop

A neighborhood bookshop on the slopes where families should come. For the past 18 years, A Titre d'Aile has been welcoming our children to give them a taste for reading, offering a selection of comics, books and other specialized works. At the helm of this little world, Céline helps us find what we're not looking for (we love that phrase). Booksellers who speak to parents and children in a beautiful space, on the sofa with a book in hand or in the games corner. An independent bookshop, a place for sharing, where books give life. Excellent advice from real enthusiasts. We love the exhibitions and the many meetings with authors.
