L’Abri des Temps is a general bookshop at Moncontour, open for the Semaines du Tourisme Économique et des Savoir-Faire. Its booksellers walk visitors through the premises and the way the shop is run. The stock mixes new and second-hand, with shelves built up in sciences humaines, nature, jardin and paysage, and a choice shaped by rural life, traditions and history. What the hour turns on is how that holds in a village of 800.
L’Abri des Temps: a village bookshop at Moncontour
The booksellers answer two questions at their own counter: why open a bookshop now, and how to build a serious selection where readers are few.
