An association dedicated to the love of books

A Livres Ouverts is an association whose mission is to promote reading and facilitate the circulation of books within the community. It organizes regular events centered around books and literature in Castelnau-Montratier and the Quercy Blanc region. The book sale is the annual highlight: a second-hand book market where each book finds a new reader, thus extending its life and preventing waste.

A book market for all tastes

The tables at the sale are full of books of all kinds: French and foreign novels, thrillers, science fiction and fantasy, essays and humanities, history and geography books, works on nature and gardening, regional books on Quercy and Occitanie, comic books for adults and children, children's books, and illustrated albums. Prices are intentionally modest to make reading accessible to all budgets. Literary gems await patient bargain hunters.

Book donations accepted

The association A Livres Ouverts accepts book donations from individuals wishing to clear out their library. These books are then sorted, showcased, and offered at the sale, or possibly passed on to partner libraries. It's a simple and effective gesture to give books a second life and prevent them from ending up in the trash.

Castelnau-Montratier, a medieval bastide in Quercy Blanc

Castelnau-Montratier is a medieval bastide founded in the 13th century, famous for its restored windmills that stand proudly on the hill overlooking the village. Its regular bastide layout, arcades, and central square bear witness to a rich medieval past. The exceptional 360° panorama offered by the village's promontory over the gentle hills of Quercy Blanc makes it one of the most picturesque communes in the Lot department.
