    • AN IDEA OF SHARING AND DISCOVERY


      The idea is to find yourself in a warm and welcoming place, in a cozy atmosphere to enjoy a drink, some treats and let yourself be won over by the discovery of readings.

      Alone, with family or friends, the bookstore café is open to everyone and offers reading material for young and old.

      Reading and writing workshops, but also exhibitions of paintings, jewelry, sculptures, meetings with authors, illustrators, who exchange directly, debates to discover, express oneself and build oneself.

      Music can move us without knowing music theory, just as a poem can move us without knowing alexandrines.


      THE BOOKSTORE

      The books we offer you are always a meeting with their author. Classics, must-reads or masterpieces, they could change your life. Whether they talk about love, ecology or imaginary stories, intended for children as well as adults, it is each time an opening and a gift that we give ourselves.

    We popped into this bookstore/café to find a gift for a friend. We took the opportunity to have a drink on their terrace opposite the castle. The waitress was incredibly friendly and offered great advice on both books and drinks.

    Beautiful location with a view of the castle. Very friendly manager. Fair prices. Delicious herbal teas. And lots of lovely things to buy: books, decorations, etc. Plus, a children's area. A top spot to absolutely try in Pau.
