Librairie du Baobab

In Martigny, a baobab tree reinvents the bookstore

At a time when books are sold even in post offices, how can a bookstore assert its uniqueness? An original answer has been provided in Martigny since September 2013, with a place where books are honored in a colorful space with avant-garde design, alongside exhibitions and workshops. All under the emblem of the baobab tree, the tree of palaver dear to the hearts of Africans.

"It's difficult to compete with large retail chains and online sales. Between 1998 and 2008, no fewer than 20 bookshops closed in French-speaking Switzerland! But we are convinced that personal contact, a warm welcome and, above all, advice are more important than ever." Yasmina Giaquinto-Carron, founder of the future "Librairie du Baobab," is aware that her "crazy idea" goes against the grain. But this English teacher with a degree in literature is not bothered by that.

Among the wide range of categories, you will find:

- Literature and fiction
- Crime novels, thrillers
- Children's
- Reference books, essays
- Practical life and leisure
- School and extracurricular

- Esotericism

- Travel books and guides
