The Bookshop in the Rue Basse

French Short Stories for Intermediate Learners · Level B1 · Camille Morel

A bookshop at the bottom of the hill has nine weeks before the rent doubles, and a whole street starts inventing a way to save it: a reading café in the back room, bread at the baker's price, books carried up the slopes by bike. Four months of plans, conditions and wishes, from January to the trees in flower in April. Pick a story to play its chapters.
