The Editor

If you’ve always dreamed of falling in love… with a bookstore, this one is made for you. Nestled right in the heart of the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, Aux Grimoires Romantiques doesn’t do things halfway: here, we talk passion, thrills, and happy endings, all in the literature section. It’s a big first for the Rhône—and even a little event for fans of romance, whether they’re contemporary, historical, fantastical, or a delightful mix of everything!

Imagined with love by a passionate person from Lyon, this bookstore clearly stands out from the crowd. Far from clichés, it proudly claims its love for romance, a genre too often snubbed despite being a hit among young (and not-so-young) readers. It’s precisely to create a true haven for this loyal community that this immersive, warm, and dedicated space was born.

One of the most romantic spots in Lyon

But at Aux Grimoires Romantiques, it’s not just a shop where you can browse through shelves that make hearts race. It’s a genuine cultural hub, where meeting others is at the heart of it all: from self-published authors to small publishing houses, local writers to genre stars. You’ll find books in their original versions, Lyonnais writers, and a lovely assortment of...

cute; events to bring romance to everyday life : creative workshops, book clubs, themed evenings, signings, and career meet-ups. In short, a program that would make even Mr. Darcy blush.

With Aux Grimoires Romantiques, Lyon has a one-of-a-kind literary space that's modern, inclusive, and incredibly feel-good. And let's be honest: it's love at first sight.
