A Youth Bookstore Transformed into a Poetic Stroll Through Stories

Owned by l’école des loisirs, the iconic Chantelivre bookstore on rue de Sèvres in Paris—dedicated to children’s and young readers’ literature—hadn’t undergone renovation since 1997. In 2022, it entrusted Lonsdale AKDV with redefining its identity through a warm, narrative-driven concept.

The 400 m² space was reimagined as a literary promenade through the Jardin du Luxembourg: from Parisian rooftops and façades to orangeries, beehives, and hidden gardens, leading to the Cabane, the whimsical gateway to the Maison des Histoires.

At the heart of the store, a Haussmann-style salon pays tribute to the house’s authors, with a large reading bench inspired by the iconic boa from Chantelivre’s 1970s-80s history. A mural by Juliette Lagrange weaves the narrative together, guiding visitors through a journey filled with secrets and surprises.

In a sustainable approach, much of the original furniture was reused, including repurposed parquet and the restored façade.

This enchanting redesign was awarded at the Grand Prix Stratégies du Design, celebrating its ability to reinvent the bookstore experience while preserving its magical soul.
