Description

Montbarbon, a name steeped in history in Bourg-en-Bresse, immediately evokes the bookshop. The company was founded in 1864, the year Jean-Marie Montbarbon obtained his bookseller's licence on behalf of Emperor Napoleon III. Since then, 5 generations have succeeded one another. On Place Carriat, in a former coaching inn, discover today's bookshop and its assortment. You'll even have the privilege of seeing the historic office and its antique books. Meet the booksellers: they'll tell you all about the book chain, from manuscript to reader, talk passionately about their profession, share their experiences and new challenges, and tell you all about their favorites. Reservations required.
