La Bookinerie

ShopLocal favourite

Monaco went 23 years without an independent bookshop until Monegasque Arthur Laure and his partner Camille opened this English-style bookshop on 27 August 2025. Beyond fiction, science, comics and children's books there is a cafe-tea room, and local authors can sell their own books here: a place built for residents, far from the Monte-Carlo image.
