The bookshop specializes on English-language books, which makes it, perhaps, the most obvious choice for a traveler. The shop offers a nice selection of English, German and French-language books as well as hosts English and French language exchange nights.
Shopping
Rue de la Loge is Montpellier's ultimate High Street, and the post-modern Polygone galleria just east of Place de la Comédie is three-storey open-air mall full of everything from designer fashions to deli foods. Halles Laissac (currently under reconstruction) and Halles Castellane are two good covered food markets next to each other on rue Anatole France by Place Jean Jaurés. Obligatory purchases include cheese, olives, and regional wines.
