la cultural 12

When you think about your business, what are you most proud of?

Our greatest pride is that our customers are satisfied and happy to have visited our shop and the treatment and advice received. Our bookshop is also distinguished by its nineteenth-century décor, where you can listen to music on a radio from the fifties or discover our little corner of forgotten books.  Here it s not just about buying a book, but about living an experience going back in time to an era when the world moved more slowly.

What is the history of your commerce?

It all started with the enthusiasm of creating an "old-fashioned" bookshop, where it is not just a question of going to the checkout, but of providing the service and attention that the big stores and the internet cannot offer you, all framed in a place full of charm. This is how our first bookshop, La cultural 22, was born. A few months later we launched La cultural 12.

What is your professional experience?

We have always worked in the arts and culture sector.

How has covid 19 affected your business?

We opened both shops during COVID, so we cannot compare the before and after.

What services and products does your business provide?

We sell new, used and antique books. We also help localize out-of-print books.
