General bookshop
4/5
2 reviews

Decitre Confluence or the art and fashion of a tradition bookstore born over a century ago is continuously reinventing the bookstore in the 21st century in the heart of a futuristic neighbourhood. The first impression is that of a space where you can move freely, even with very young children, or to stroll in search of the rare pearl for hours… With well-spaced shelves extending over more than 1 000 m², this provides opportunities for all readers. Because if you can enter at Decitre as in another shop in the mall, everyone quickly gets caught up in the game and the unique pleasure of reading, the discovery amidst its wide alleys. Children are happy to have a dedicated space where they can have as much enjoying themselves as reading beautiful stories. Leisure and pleasure, two strong words of this library which has all the works we're looking for, from the last novel of the back to school period to the more specialized works especially comic, manga, humoristic book or beautiful art books to offer or to please yourself. At Decitre, the book can also be digitized with the numerical reading to test without moderation. The other feature of this library is its very complete stationery space and its "design and techno objects" space where you can find lots of gift ideas. At Confluence, in Lyon and elsewhere, Decitre remains the reference bookstore.
