La Maison du Livre « au Family », Independent bookstore and restaurant in central Rodez, France
La Maison du Livre is an independent bookstore and dining space in central Rodez housed in a large building. The venue combines an extensive collection across different literary genres with a restaurant offering local cuisine.
The bookstore began in 1946 and evolved over decades before taking its current form combining books with dining. The major transformation came in 2008 when it expanded to incorporate the former cinema space into its operations.
The name recalls the former Family cinema that once occupied this space and shaped its character. Visitors experience a blend of book browsing and dining that transforms the venue into a gathering place for the community.
The place is open on Monday afternoons and throughout the week on other days, making regular visits convenient. You can shop in person, sit down for a meal, or arrange to have books sent to you.
The space features dedicated sections for manga, crime novels, science fiction, and children's books spread throughout. This organized approach by reading interest makes it easy to find what appeals to different visitors.
