Record shops Caen

It's a very small space, but the sheer number of items on offer gives the impression that the stalls are growing out of the walls. Behind his counter, Gilles, the owner since 1987, is a one-man encyclopedia. He's a passionate record dealer, which explains his longevity in spite of the big names that have cornered the market. Like an irreducible Gaul, he achieves the feat of selling second-hand records at affordable prices. Whether you're a novice or an enthusiast, come and discover or rediscover your favorite vinyl records.

Alain's shop is about 17 years old and is a benchmark of people who are used to it. Here are all styles of music from the variety to punk-oï and if the stock of new or used vinyl (between 7 000 and 8 000 references) is more important than CD (about 1 500), the shop works essentially on order. You can choose from a catalogue of more than 1 500 000 references (cd, vinyl, but also DVD and merchandising…), a catalogue that is 4 000 to 6 000 references per week! You even have the possibility of buy the albums that go out around the world. So say, here, nothing can escape you!

Gâteau Blaster is a record shop-label-art gallery located in Caen. Opened just a few months ago, it has already acquired a fine reputation among fans of independent music. The store offers a varied selection of vinyls and CDs, featuring artists from the national and international "do it yourself" scene. As well as selling music, Gâteau Blaster also organizes musical events, such as concerts and DJ nights. For example, they recently organized an evening at Cargö, a concert hall in Caen, with artists such as Jessica 93, Eye of the Liger and Gomina.

We love this independent record shop! L'oeil du Sillon, a vinyl and CD store, offers new and second-hand vinyl in all styles, and at a very reasonable price! An enthusiastic Emmanuel Maillard is delighted with the renewed and growing popularity of vinyl. Ah, the lovely sound of diamonds in the groove has no equal! In the bins, no less than 2,500 records, including some real nuggets. You'll also find film music and books. Bonus: as well as buying, you can also sell your treasures and make a lot of people happy!
