Le Village du Livre

In a natural setting, this bookstore has chosen to invest in an old flour mill dating from the 17th century, which became an oil mill at the end of the 19th century, to offer a privileged and soothing environment to its readers.

If the thick walls of this building house many works, gentle energies vibrate between these walls. Dream, marvel and take pleasure in the 5000m² of discoveries during this unusual visit. During your cultural and imaginary journey in this atypical setting, the advisers will listen to you and provide you with information. "A funny reading is as useful for health as the exercise of the body" (Kant), so do not hesitate any more, if a time for oneself does not know the clock it is at the Village du Livre that the relaxation awaits you .

Flea market, entertainment, catering and canoe rental possible. Located at the confluence of the Isle and the Dronne, this site is an integral part of the industrial heritage of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Throughout the day, soak up the fantastic ambience of the rooms that will delight your Peter Pan soul. Adults, children, seniors, this is the meeting point for all generations.

You did not need less than 5000m² of space to visit and 2 floors to display a maximum of books (250,000 books on our stock of more than 7 million). Lovers of reading, toys, cinema, rare books, second-hand goods, take pleasure in each of your discoveries. With the imaginary bookstore, we move away from orderly aisles or titled spaces intended for commerce. We offer you wonder and an ever more surprising discovery as you walk.
