Librairie ancienne

The Quillet Bookshop’s collection of rare books spans from the 16th century to the present day, offering a rich and diverse selection of 30,000 volumes. Systematically organized and clearly classified, the books are easily accessible, allowing you to quickly find what you’re looking for across a wide range of themes. Whether your interest lies in history, maritime topics, travel, literature, science, nature, or many other subjects, there is something to captivate every passion.

These second-hand books are carefully sourced from private collectors all over France, ensuring unexpected and fascinating finds on the shelves. Before being offered for sale, each book is cleaned, dusted, repaired, and polished to give it a second life. Thanks to this complete restoration process, the books look almost new and are in good condition, ready to be rediscovered and enjoyed by new readers.

The Quillet Bookshop stands out for its remarkable collection of comics, encompassing rare vintage editions, contemporary works, graphic novels, American comics, and manga. Whether you’re looking for a complete series or a single volume, every enthusiast is sure to find something to enjoy.

With an impressive stock of 50,000 comics — 20,000 of which are carefully displayed — the diversity and richness of this collection are undeniable. Prices mostly range from €6 to €8, though they can reach up to €6,000 for rare and collectible items.

Among the most sought-after works are timeless classics like Astérix and Tintin, perfect for fans of traditional Franco-Belgian comics. For dedicated collectors, the shop also offers rare and valuable editions signed by celebrated artists such as Moebius, Bilal, Jijé, and Sattouf, representing true treasures of comic art.

A lively, unexpected, and inspiring place where words resonate both on the page and in conversation.

Nestled in the heart of the Quillet Bookshop, the literary café is a true hidden gem — a space that feels both surprising and welcoming, where time seems to stand still. Surrounded by shelves brimming with stories and knowledge, it invites you to unwind with a coffee, tea, or a refreshing soda.

It’s the perfect spot for a quiet break alone with a book or for sharing a moment with friends in a cozy, intimate atmosphere. But the literary café offers more than just a place to relax. In the evening, it transforms into a vibrant cultural venue, hosting a rich program of events: live music over drinks, lectures, readings, theater performances… Each gathering is an invitation to discover, share, and escape into new worlds.
