La Maison des Histoires, an immersive museum for children aged 0 to 7, hidden in a bookshop

Behind the Chantelivre bookshop, a brand-new children's museum opens in June 2023, to the delight of the very young! La Maison des Histoires plunges the whole family into the literary worlds of l'École des Loisirs, between Cornebidouille and the Maximonstres!

Reopening of the famous feminist and LGBTQI+ bookshop Violette and Co, in the 11th arrondissement.

After closing in early 2022, the 11th arrondissement literary institution is back, thanks to the determination of feminist activists. More modern, the bookshop now houses a small café, which you can try out from October 13, 2023!

Storyboard, the bookshop-café a stone's throw from the Puces de Saint-Ouen

A concept store, a coffeeshop and a beautiful hybrid bookshop with a whole collection of graphic novels, comics, mangas and children's books: that's the idea Bess and Julien had when they opened Storyboard in October 2021. Since then, the bookshop has become a place where you can pop in for a coffee, spend hours leafing through the books, or just drop in for a snack.
