The best bookshops La Chaise-Dieu

The Blue Goose is first the idea of a city of Saint-Etienne who had the desire to live a rural bookstore. She is called Fabienne Lhopital and she is a graduate in bookstores. The library opened in 2005. It favours daily life works (gardening, well-being, kitchen…) but also works of regional history and works of youth literature. In all, there are almost two thousand available titles, which is quite exceptional for a village of this size. The companion of Fabienne is an author-illustrator for youth. He works on the first floor of the shop and his books are sold in the bookstore, as well as postcards specially designed for the shop. In addition to its bookshop, the hotel also organizes a lounge where you can find products from organic agriculture and fair trade, and the shop contains a gift corner where you can find a whole bunch of nice items to offer. Meetings and demonstrations around book and reading are also organised regularly in October with the Association Read in Celebration.
