If you are a lover of old and rare books, you need to bring a visit to the shop of Michel Bouvier. It’s only open  in the afternoon from 14h till 19 h or by appointment. It’s seems a bit confidential or reservated for the happy few, but the owner is a very kind person. He says old and rare books are also a but of luxury and so is a nice library.
