The Bourg-en-Bresse Book Market: A Bibliophile's Paradise

For many years, the association Les Amis du Livre has enlivened the cultural life of Bourg-en-Bresse by organizing a market dedicated to used books and cultural media. This regular event has become a landmark for readers, comic book collectors, and music lovers from all over the Ain department.

A Rich and Varied Cultural Offering

The market offers a wide range of cultural media: novels, essays, art books, technical works, comic books, manga, specialized journals, old magazines, music CDs, DVDs, and vinyl records. Prices are particularly attractive, often well below the rates of traditional used bookstores, making it a popular event for students and avid readers.

A Calendar That Adapts to the Seasons

From March to May and then from October to November, the market is held on the third Saturday of the month. From June to the end of September, the frequency increases to weekly, offering even more opportunities to find a rare gem. In October, a special large sale accompanies the street sale by the town center merchants.

A Location in the Heart of the City

Located on rue Pasteur, perpendicular to the Cours de Verdun, the market benefits from a central, high-traffic location. Strollers and customers of neighboring shops often stop by to browse through some books. The event is canceled in case of bad weather.
