Baptiste had a great idea: to open a café-library in the Recouvrance district, a place that would be built on the basis of solidarity and ecological principles. This will be the Sapristi project! The setting of this second-hand bookshop is warm, with volunteers receiving customers, giving advice and discussing books, comics and other CDs. A few workshops are offered and no doubt Baptiste and his volunteers will come up with new ideas in the coming months. Don't miss this little place before visiting Recouvrance!
