Founded in 2021, La Grande Évasion is an independent general bookshop open all year round in La Gacilly. It stocks around 6,000 titles and also offers a wide range of stationery, illustrations and unique items.

In 2026, La Grande Évasion will expand to become the Festival bookshop: located next to the tourist office, this seasonal bookshop will showcase guest artists, photography in the broadest sense and, more generally, themes that are dear to the Photo Festival. A carefully selected sample of French publishing diversity!
