Book stands
Météore Bookstore
@librairie_meteoresThe bookstore was established in September 2020 due to the observation that new urban development plans were causing the disappearance of places where people could relax and socialize outside their daily routine. Although people often visit bookstores in the city, some find books either too fancy or bookstores too focused on sales. Météores aims to address this gap by providing a space not only for finding books but also for socializing, including a bar, café, movie theater, and concert hall. Here, you'll find not only book, but moments shared together.

Screen Printing stands
Live Screen Printing
@lesimprimeurs1060The live screen printing booth is a space where you can personalize your own cotton textile or choose from the selection of crop tops, t-shirts, sweatshirts... available at the booth.
