euromaxx # The Town of Books # 22.04.2009

Michael BärApril 23, 2009

April the 23rd is UNESCO world book day, good enough reason for us to visit a rather picturesque town in France that has in recent years become known as the Town of Books. +++ It's two hours south of Paris in the Burgundy region which is better known for its wines. Charité sur Loire is THE place for booklovers. +++ It all started just ten years ago when one antiquarian bookseller there felt a bit lonely.
