Librairie à Chats
Not for *les allergiques, Mon Chat Pitre (My Foolish Cat) is France’s first ‘purring bookshop’, found in the Aix-en-Provence. Opened in 2021 by passionate animal advocate Solène Chavanne, the bookshop is the permanent pouncing ground of several rescue cats – and, sorry, no, you can’t take one home.
France has the highest pet abandonment rate in Europe, and this unique bookstore draws attention to the plight of overwhelmed shelters, while also offering a wide selection of books of every genre.
If your idea of an afternoon well spent involves patting cats, sipping coffee and perusing pages, this might just be the purrfect destination on your next trip to France.
