Manège & Histoires

Description

When you're strolling down Rue de la Paix, you can't miss him!
With his big ears, his 19th century gentleman look and his friendly face, the MANÈGE ET HISTOIRES rabbit is a real eye-catcher in the centre of Dunkirk! To the delight of children and their families! But what world is hiding behind his burrow? A bookshop for children, teenagers and young adults! Let's take a look at the story behind the burrow!

Open since 20 July 2022, the bookshop offers colourful novels, of course, as well as poetic albums, classic tales, bedtime stories and adventure-filled comic strips, but that's not all. More than just text, MANÈGE ET HISTOIRES also offers an abundance of creative leisure activities, endless board games, early-learning activities to help you dream like you did in the early days, and DIY accessories to help you shine in the playground.

It's a way for young customers to discover and work on other facets of their imagination, as Honorine, the shop's young owner, who worked as a specialist children's bookseller for over eight years in the Paris region, points out.

"I may be an adult, but there's no other form of literature in the world that makes me dream than children's literature! When I discover new books in my shop, I read them, interpret them and feel them as a young reader would. That's how I know whether what I'm offering children, whether it's a story, a game or a craft, will take them far away or not!
