In Strasbourg, La Tache Noire is a bookshop-café specialising in crime and noir fiction. The shelves mix new releases and second-hand books, with a selection centred on investigations, suspense and crime literature.
Reading, drinking and playing with a noir theme
The venue lets you extend your visit over a drink and also offers games, with an atmosphere closer to a neighbourhood cultural venue than a bookshop you simply pass through. Regular author events and activities take the reading experience further.
Specialisation makes a real difference
Few places in Strasbourg take their crime-fiction identity this far: the choice of books, conversations with the team and the events programme all revolve around this world. This coherence between specialist bookshop, café and events is what makes La Tache Noire interesting.
