The best bookshops Alpes

BD Fugue has just celebrated its 40th birthday and is no less young for it. Age is in the mind! And that of Jean-Jacques Roby, the founder still in charge, is well made. This comics enthusiast took the daring gamble of setting up a bookshop specializing in a genre that was not recognized as it is today. Over time, with the addition of Vincent Poirier and a passionate team, BD Fugue has become a reference. Amazing place

Reading is essential, everywhere, all the time. Books not found elsewhere to open our horizons and free our imagination.

Selection made with passion, poetry and emotion. Contagious good mood around the passion of the book.

Situated between rue Jean-Jacques-Rousseau and the banks of the Thiou, La Procure is an authentic bookshop that has been making a splash since the beginning of the last century!

But Annecy's La Procure bookshop is also a generalist, with an incredible range of contemporary works in all subject areas, including children's literature. Passionate booksellers add their kindness and professionalism to guide us along the path of books and minds.

On all fronts for more than a quarter of a century, Catherine and her books have been taking us to parallel universes where we must let ourselves be guided and transported.

From the last Goncourt prize to the travel guide to the specialized book, everyone will find what he or she is looking for. Hats off to the gift packages.

Amateurs of old books, rare collections, books of literature in literature, travel, religion, history of Savoy or elsewhere, the shop of the Place-Reine is a paradise. Just take the time to look among the shelving or ask the seller the rare pearl he knows to find in the pile of books.

Thanks to the advice of Christelle Ceard and those provided by his team, we take advantage of a voyage of travel, of romance, from the universe of fiction to thematic books and quality guides, going arcane through the rays.

Beautiful trips to beautiful destinations such as these wonderful peaks of the Alps, smart cards and books that put on the page nature, poetry, social sciences, for all tastes, ages, and cultures. The space is user-friendly and the works cleverly arranged on the shelves, so that you always find the book that you search. So we should use subtlety to enjoy the kindness of the mistress of the places, asking for information about a literary subject yet well illustrated in the rays!

In the press house, where an impressive bouquet of magazines and newspapers blooms the rays, everything is thought for the comfort of the clients and the literary universe merges with that of the press!

Definitely, always a service destination. A partner of literary escape and the passion of the mistress of the Places… An address to Gap.
