In the Saint-Esprit district of Bayonne, Le Café Lire combines a café and a second-hand bookshop. The idea is simple: settle down with a drink and browse books that have already passed through other hands, in a place designed as much for taking a break as for browsing.
A second-hand bookshop in a café
Here, the books are more than decoration: they form a proper second-hand selection. This circulation of books gives the place a different character from coffee shops with a few shelves of books to browse freely.
A reading break in Saint-Esprit
Located on boulevard Jean-d'Amou, Le Café Lire brings a literary destination to this district opposite Bayonne's historic centre. Its appeal lies precisely in this focused concept: coffee, reading and second-hand books together in one place.
