We’ve always enjoyed reading, whether fiction or non-fiction, sharing our enthusiasms and exchanging opinions with other readers.
Our library is, of course, at your disposal.
The books reflect our personal interests: history and literature, especially of the 19th and 20th centuries, France and the British Isles, popular culture and fine arts; as well as photography, film, jazz, detective and other pulp fiction. Just borrow what takes your fancy...
To help you organise your outings you’ll also find books and brochures on the Perche, Maine and Ile de France; cathedrals, festivals, concerts, brocantes, restaurants and transport.
If you’re in a quandary as to what to read, "Dr Roger" will be happy to diagnose your problem and prescribe a course of reading...
If you’re a writer yourself, in search of peace and quiet, you’ll have all our dictionaries and reference works to hand (particularly covering the last two centuries, of course) . You can also isolate yourself in our retreat for resident artists: the fruit store overlooking the valley.
