General bookshops Pays Rochelais

If you're a lover of literature, you'll find a place here that's becoming a rarity in the city center. Calligrammes is one of the bookshops to take its place right in the heart of La Rochelle. Located on Place de Verdun, it's easy to get to by bus or bike, to pick up the latest literary releases. Under the arcades, you can take your time looking at the window display, which changes with the seasons. Once through the doors, Le Petit Futéloves strolling through the shelves on the first floor. Some of the novels have instructions, a good idea for those who find it hard to choose. Before climbing a few steps, take a look at the regionalism section, with its fine books on La Rochelle and Charente-Maritime. Upstairs, the shelves feature the Poche collection, as well as school and university books. Our specialized sales staff are on hand to answer all your questions and offer personalized advice. Note that the bookshop is small and sometimes a victim of its own success.

It's one of the Rochelais' favorite cultural superstores. Located in a shopping zone, it is easily accessible, and even has an underground parking lot. If the Petit Futé never fails to make a detour to a bookshop, it also likes this kind of address. It has to be said that it's a pleasant place, with wide aisles that allow you to stroll leisurely. You'll be immersed in the world of books, which you can leaf through on the lovely sofa. Then it's time for music, with self-service pianos and a wall of guitars. The cultural journey comes to an end in the world of creative hobbies. The staff are all smiles and good advice.

The arcades of Rue Chaudrier are one of the best places to stroll in La Rochelle. People come here to buy fashionable clothes and pastries, but also... books! This bookshop makes no secret of the fact that it stocks a wide range of publishers, enabling bibliophiles to indulge their passion at lower cost. Different areas are available, one for fine books (music, history, nature), the other for children's books. Prices are particularly attractive for those looking to treat themselves or find a gift idea.

I love this independent bookstore located just a few steps from the market. Not only the shop window is nice, but the place as a whole is worth a visit. Sandra, Bérengère, Gaëlle and Guillaume - who has just been crowned "bookseller of the year" - make up the team of a festive place where you can go and meet new authors, but also take the time to discover books and read. Head upstairs and its cosy atmosphere, to consult books in this bookstore which is above all a place of solidarity. This policy offers the booksellers a real freedom, to defend the books, but also to select pocket formats at accessible prices.

This bookshop has been attracting literary enthusiasts for 20 years. Ideally located on a street that lends itself to strolling, it's an inviting place to spend a pleasant moment. What a pleasure to discover the window displaying a selection of books, and to enjoy the warm welcome from a team of passionate booksellers. You'll meet Stéphane, a fine connoisseur of literature, convinced that paper books are an object of desire. Here, the bookseller's job takes on its full meaning! Les Saisons is definitely a place apart.

This cultural space is a favorite among those looking to pick up the latest novel, manga or comic book. It's ideally located, opposite a hypermarket, with ample parking and extended opening hours. As you enter, you'll be seduced by a setting conducive to strolling, with wide aisles, subdued lighting and competent staff. And don't forget the year-round events.
