Librairie L'Imprudence Ledésert

Your Go-To Spot for New & Second-Hand Books

Located 26, rue d’Italie in Vevey,  facing the lake, L’imprudence is a popular destination for both French and English-speaking book lovers. Known for its carefully curated selection, beautiful decor and welcoming atmosphere, the store offers a great experience for both avid readers and casual browsers.

Our new & 2nd-hand books span many genres: novels, poetry, travel, sci-fi, philosophy, social sciences, spirituality, cinema, music, children books, graphic novels… as well as an original and extensive selection of art, photo, architecture & design books. And you will be enchanted by our quirky selection of illustrated and vintage books which make truly original gifts.

The majority of our books are second-hand and our new books are rarely recent, but rather our favorites through a life of reading. In the words of a customer, you’ll find here  “a warm smiling welcome, and really interesting conversations as the owner has extensive knowledge on all kinds of topics. A bookstore where it feels good to go !”
