A Truly Unique Bookstore 📜✨

📖 le Bal des Ardents 📚 Located near Place Bellecour, this shop was voted Lyon’s most beautiful bookstore 🇫🇷—and for good reason! The entrance features an archway entirely built from antique books, setting the mood instantly. 📚 Inside, you’ll find lofty ladders, creaky old wooden floors, and a carefully curated selection (not your mainstream bestsellers!). There’s even a section on film critiques—fitting for Lyon, the capital of cinema 🎥🍿. Oh, and don’t miss the full human skeleton hanging above an archway… right above anatomy books. 💀📚 (Spooky but cool!) 📚 Outside, old books, art prints, and postcards tempt passersby—often older locals flipping through them nostalgically. The building itself is over 200 years old! ⏳🏛️ Nearby, the famous Lyonnais bouchon Tupin serves classic local dishes—perfect for a post-meal stroll. 🍷🥖 #Bookstore #BookstoreGoals #MostBeautifulBookstore #FrenchBookstores #LyonBookstores #SpendADayHere #LyonLife #ExploreLyon #LyonTravel #FranceTravel #OffTheBeatenPath #TravelStyle #OutfitInspo #LeatherJacketLook
