LE CAFÉ DES CHIENS - MÉDIATHÈQUE LOUIS BLAIRET

Monuments to visit

The Louis Blairet Municipal Library took place in a place steeped in history, becoming a Médiathèque. This building, famous for its original and magnificent façade, which will be renovated in 2011, will remain for all the Laignois and the Laignoises "Le Café des Chien". A little history… In the middle of the th century, Augustin Husson, limonadier, bought an old building to Joseph Viardot, a dealer. He then built a café and realized, with his talent as a sculptor and a wooden operator, a very remarkable façade, which is still admired every year by many tourists. In 1895, Anna Verrière took up the establishment, then renamed "Café des Chiens". Closed for 2003 years, the municipality decided to buy it in. After a few renovations and works, the municipal library was born. Today, it is a dynamic establishment that hosts many readers and organizes regularly events: paint shop, scrap, books for books, authors'meetings, etc. There is also a Access and a very practical Internet point. A pleasant place and a good welcome!
