L'Esprit Livre

The bookstore as we imagine it: cute, books everywhere, located in a very busy street. On the other hand, the gentleman is indeed a little dry and sometimes takes customers high. I no longer seek advice. It is not a fun time to go there. Too bad because all the ingredients are there.

If like me you love books, do not hesitate to rush delicately into this bookstore. Always with good advice, Mister will make you discover novels that you would not have dared or thought to buy, he will make you think outside the box and sometimes bland bestsellers, and Madam will succeed in making your children travel and will make your teenagers want to read anything other than books with pictures. And above all, don't be fooled by the mister's caustic air, he's only trying to hide his unconditional love of books ...

Enough with the anonymous denigration on the internet. It is because I too am a shopkeeper that I want to respond to AH's controversial comments. I agree with the many qualities of this bookstore that I frequent. Personally, I have always had excellent contacts with booksellers and they have always given me good advice. But I also know from experience, and this is especially true in these times of Covid, that customers never question whether they themselves are friendly and respectful. It would be so much nicer for all if our customers stopped behaving like spoiled children to whom everything is due. But maybe I'm dreaming!

When they called me I couldn't believe it. In fact they were faster than expected, less than 24 hours for gifts delivered well ahead of time. Now I promise to buy local.

When I went to my friend's house, I discovered a bookstore that I didn't know existed. Not only was it recommended to me by the book I gave him and which excited him, but I also stocked up on my summer readings. In a calm and warm setting, the booksellers were attentive and gave me perfect advice. I also noticed a children's corner full of thousands of books. To discover next time! "
