General bookshops Lyon 7th 69007

Close to the University Lyon 2, Terre des Livres naturally offers a large selection of books in the humanities. But the journey has only just begun in this small-scale, artisanal bookshop where the offer is impressive. In this cosmopolitan district, there is a wonderful collection specialising in the Maghreb, the Arabic language and the African continent. The other treasure of the place and the clever plan for small budgets are the 10,000 or so second-hand books sold at low prices. Beautiful encounters with authors and booksellers.

Do you want to know "livresse"? That euphoria you feel when you open the door of this independent bookshop. On the left bank of the Rhône, Rive Gauche is committed to making us better and smarter. We've fallen in love with the team of booksellers who make a fine selection of books - they even award a Rive Gauche prize - in all styles, from literature to comics. To guide you, we take the time to listen to you, to talk to you, to take you to discover authors who don't make the headlines in the new literary season. Authors with whom you can chat during meetings organized at the bookshop. Comics, children's literature and many surprises.

A nugget for all book lovers. This small bookstore has everything of a big one and it is a place where readers particularly like to meet the authors, with a nice selection made by enthusiasts. Vast choice in many fields - French and foreign literature, classical and contemporary, poetry, theatre, cookery books, fine arts, comic strips... The opportunity to broaden your literary horizons and to feed your curiosity. A door to push, a path to take to show the way in every chapter.
