From a story in Deutsche Well:
Christian Valleriaux, a specialist in rare books, was the first Parisian bookseller to settle in La Charite-sur-Loire just two hours from the French capital.
"We wanted to leave Paris," said Valleriaux, 61. "We'd had enough of paying such high rent for the store and our apartment. Besides, we were looking for better quality of life."
Booksellers are leaving Paris and arriving in La Charite-sur-Loire to create, in essence, a city of books. The village of 5,000 has 12 specialty bookstores focusing on old and rare books, original French typography, calligraphy and bookbinding.
