Opened under its new name in 2026, Le Chat Noir is a Chambéry bookshop combining books and a tearoom on rue Jean-Pierre-Veyrat. The business took over the former Le Bois d'Amarante bookshop but added a café element and creative activities.
Books, drinks and time to linger
The shop sells new and second-hand books, stationery and games, while the tearoom lets visitors stay for a drink rather than limiting their visit to a quick purchase. Early visitor feedback in 2026 specifically mentions this café corner as one of the venue's appreciated features.
A still-new venue
As Le Chat Noir opened recently, its programme is likely to evolve. Its focus is already clear, however: a town-centre bookshop where reading can be enjoyed during a proper break, with creative activities for children and adults too.
