About The Guide

Hello! We are Sonja and Ivan. And this is our Bookstore Guide. The idea of writing a guide to bookstores all around Europe was conceived while we were on a vacation in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Having a passion for reading and traveling, we have encountered various bookstores throughout Europe and thus have decided to make this blog and write about our findings. If you happen to find yourself in, let's say Amsterdam or Berlin or any other city, we hope that this Bookstore Guide will help you find the books you are looking for so make sure you stop and browse for some of your favorite books in these bookstores.

Stephen said: "This bookstore is only one of many in Switzerland but it's the only one (that I know of) that focuses primarily on books in English (the other ones of the Payot chain primarily contain books in French). Unfortunately, the prices are more or less standard but the selection is wonderful since they are really up-to-date with books released in English. I only visited this bookstore once due to my short stay in Switzerland but I'm sure that any book lover would appreciate their offer. After all, none of the bookstores actually force you to buy books upon entering one, right?"

About the bookstore:
The Chantepoulet bookshop was refurbished in 2005 to offer you a more user-friendly purchasing space. It now includes the biggest choice of English books in French-speaking Switzerland. A genuine bookshop within the bookshop, the English Department is headed by an English-speaking team whose members will be delighted to place their expertise at your service. The French-speaking bookshop at Chantepoulet has all the general book departments.
