It is with great pleasure that I present to you today magnificent international bookshops that have bewitched me. One step, then two, I imagine going into each of them. Breathe that particular smell they have when we go through their doors. It is above all the atmosphere that overwhelms me, envelops me, all these authors who speak to me and make me want to buy each of their works, to possess them jealously, to imbibe me of what they contain until more thirsty that's what I wish you after reading each article.

Brest - "Dialogues"
Brest, the sea, the boats, the breath of the wind and his bookshop "Dialogues" where I loved to wander the shelves discovering small wonders here and there for my greatest pleasure.
This large generalist bookstore with spaces dedicated to reading, coffee corner and signing meetings, I highly recommend it. Feel free to enter and let yourself be carried away by these thousands of works as I have been.

London - "Word on the water"
With a magic wand, here I am on the platform. She is there, just in front of me, a few steps dancing slowly to the rhythm of the water inviting you to enter, one step, then two ... there you are ... Protecting them with its wooden arms, the barge hides a treasure to know, all its boarders stand at attention, ready to captivate you for a journey that will take them far away from here to your library. This is an address you should not miss when you go to London.
