6. Librairie Pantagruel

"Visited this lovely bookstore on May 19th. My French is OK enough to read so I decided to get a graphic novel. The lovely person behind the counter was kind enough to help me by listing the books she liked, asking me what I liked and offering me two excellent recs (which I have since finished).This is what a bookstore should be!PS: if your French is also OK, try their graphic novel section and ask for help. Be weary though: choosing will be an issue ;)."

"My respite in Marseille! They have quite a small section with books in English, but the collection is very nice. I wanted to read adventures of Tin Tin and French classics (Camus, Exupery) in French “in France”, but ended up finding the English translations here. No need to learn French. Lol! Love this bookstore. It’s an oasis in this utterly chaotic city."
