General bookshops Clermont-Ferrand

Le Grin (pronounced grain - in Mali, it's a meeting place) is a hybrid place, at the same time a bookshop, an associative café, a cultural space (animations, conferences, exhibitions, projections...) and now a restaurant! Mathieu and Mariam, from the association Kodon, also at the initiative of the telephone booth converted into a library near the Jardin Lecoq, have created a multicultural, warm and welcoming space for sharing, just like their couple. The books recovered by the association cover all literatures, the first floor being reserved for the Library of Africa. The restaurant's menu also takes us on a journey, with its dwich formulas, homemade juices and brunches all week long.

Relaunched as a SCOP by some fifteen employees in 2014, it's a mecca for culture. Its shelves cover a wide range of themes: children's literature, novels, comics, fine arts, CDs, DVDs, stationery, school books, etc. Numerous authors come here to meet their readers, programs are concocted with local radio stations, and so on. The employees are the owners of the place and the visitors are the actors of its success. Advice is available as soon as you enter.

Is it useful to introduce you to Fnac. It is the place for those who want to make sure they find the latest literary or musical innovations. If your happiness is not on the shelf, an order in store is always possible depending on stocks. Fnac extends over three levels: the ticket office at the entrance avoids queuing inside, books on the first floor, cd and dvd in the basement. Employees are fast but very busy, the difficulty is to catch one, but once the operation is successful, you may be surprised at their efficiency and knowledge of their products. Far from the privacy of record stores or small bookstores, the place answers all requests.

There are almost everything in books and multimedia (DVD, CD, video games, computer, telephony). The sign is a beautiful part of the books: novels, polars, literary novelties, essays… Also a youth radius, with books of awakening, tales and novels. The BD radius is also provided with relatively new titles and a beautiful selection of mangas. A travel/travel guide radius, and also extracurricular, political, legal and economic works… The friendly staff is really available, and orders the title or article that is no longer in store. Comfortable armchairs and sofas invite you to take the time to browse before buying.

This 1,200 ^m2 space houses more than 80,000 book references in a bright setting overlooking Clermont-Ferrand. From novels to comics to youth, the attentive staff will be able to advise you. You will also find everything you need in music, DVDs, as well as a well-stocked creative leisure section that organizes workshops to support its creation. Latest culture news, good classics, a haven of culture where you can take a break after the races. The place also allows you to book your show tickets.

With courage and passion, Dominique Minard, a true lover of foreign and detective literature, has created an establishment at the top of the Rue des Gras. After occupying the rue Pascal, the 7,500 or so works of French and foreign literature, humanities, fine arts and children's literature were refocused on this 90 m² space at the foot of the cathedral. Meetings with authors, readings, dedications, and even themed meetings, conferences, exquisite corpses... The term "independent bookshop" takes on its full meaning here... The advice, the welcome and the choices made make it a beautiful place. A real pleasure. A real favourite.
