A place worth knowing

Violette and Co is a feminist, lesbian and LGBTQIA+ bookshop with a selection that moves between literature, essays, comics and other forms. A small café extends the visit, and the associated community space gives the address a role beyond book retail.

Go with a subject in mind or browse across genres, then leave time for a drink. For a reading or discussion, consult the dated agenda: the bookshop, café and association activities have different purposes and arrangements.
