In Arles since seven years, a genuine bookshop dedicated to Antiquity, right next to the Arena, sorry!, the amphitheatre: a bookshop which will allow you to discover Antiquity from another viewpoint, a photo and art gallery, and also a collection of local craft beers, antic wines and meads, natural or historical spirits, liquors, Provence whiskies, rhums matured in Aubagne…
Méditerranée imaginaire. Gaspard de Gouges
Exhibition. Constructed landscapes.
From May to June 2025.
Antic bookshop
The place mainly is a bookshop specialising in Antiquity, where you can find a selection of more than 5 000 books dealing with the concrete Antiquity’s lifestyle for women, men and children : beliefs, techniques, agriculture, medicine, food, arts, mythologies… and of course, history and literature. From Mesopotamia to the celtic world.
With a short selection of English books.
And a series of shelves on Arles, Provence and Provençal literature.
Come and rediscover daily life in Antiquity, a source of inspiration for our postmodern lives.
We also have an online bookshop and ship books abroad. Discover it here !
Craft beers and original wines & spirits
The only place in Arles where you can find a rigorous selection of craft beers, natural wines and alcools from Provence and Occitania. Discover the various and original beers of our partners from Aix-en-Provence and Montpellier, Aquae Maltae and La Malpolon. We created with Aquae Maltae an original “cervoise”, with a local gruit, a sour and tasteful beverage which our ancestors would have appreciated ! We have other cervoises made by the brewery In Taberna. We also have a selection of antic and medieval wines, precisely made by adding honey, herbs and spices. And a unique selection of local craft natural alcohols : eaux-de-vie, french whiskies, rhums, ancient liquors, and natural cognac.
