Un livre et une tasse de thé is a committed and feministbookstore in the République district, which offers political and social books , but also meetings with authors, as well as a small, inclusive and warm tea room. The colorful decoration enhances the displays of books, comics and feminist essays, chosen by Juliette and Annabelle, the booksellers behind this living space.
Close to the Place de la République, the bookstore has books adapted to all ages, whether they are about social sciences, ecology or practical life.The booksellers are committed to respecting gender parity in the shelves and to putting forward the values of an intersectional feminism, which can be felt even in the meetings heldin the bookshop. Regularly, feminist literature figures are invited to sign their books and discuss with their readers, around a good natural snack!
Although it is small, the tea room side is a real plus, which breaks down the idea of the traditional bookstore. It allows curious readers to discover the books of the bookstore while enjoying a good cake, accompanied by a hot chocolate or a quality tea. The products come from local producers, like the delicious orange cake from TopKnot Café, in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. Depending on your diet, they can be vegan or gluten-free! On the menu, brioche, financier, cookie, fresh fruit pancakes, iced tea or Viennese chocolate, enough to enjoy a warm treat!
Recently, the bookstore has been offering feminist boxes, available for purchase or as a subscription, with different themes each month, available on the website. In March, the first box was focused on anger, with a selection of goodies, as well as paperbacks or large format books depending on the chosen formula.
