Near the T1 gates, this small Bookshop is your print stop
This Bookshop sits airside in Terminal T1, a short walk from most international gates, and focuses almost entirely on magazines, paperbacks, and travel-sized stationery. Stock leans heavily French-language, with a smaller shelf of English titles and kids’ comics. You’ll also find basic travel extras like pens, small notebooks, and simple puzzle books that actually fit in a seat-back pocket.
Opening hours track the main bank of departures in T1, with shutters usually up from early morning into late evening when long-haul flights leave. Pricing is airport-markup level: magazines run a bit higher than downtown kiosks, and pocket novels sit in the mid-range for Côte d’Ivoire. Don’t expect rare titles or specialty genres; this is more “kill 90 minutes at the gate” reading than collector material.
Selection skews to current French newspapers, regional press, and mainstream novels, with some African authors in rotation and a few travel guides relevant to West Africa routes. Kids’ corners lean on coloring books and simple storybooks under €10 equivalent. Snacks are minimal—maybe a few candy bars near the counter—so plan on this stop for reading, not refueling.
One tip: if you need English reading before an overnight flight out of T1, head here earlier in the day; by late night, the thinner English shelf can be picked over while French dailies still stack high.
