Did you know?
Three people who love Les Moutiers have donated valuable documents to the library. In 2010, Emile Boutin, a local historian, donated his books and research files, mainly on local history. In 2013, René de Cayeux donated his collection of works and magazines relating to navigation. Lastly, Virgilio De Lemos' poetry books have been added to the Espace.

The history of Moutiers in books:

Trading in Moutiers-en-Retz from 1900 to the present day, Volume 1
Agriculture in Moutiers-en-Retz from 1900 to the present day, Volume 2
La mer aux Moutiers-en-Retz de 1900 à nos jours, Volume 3 has just been published!

All these books are on sale at the library and in partner outlets.

A dynamic “animations” section:
Throughout the year, the library organizes conferences, exhibitions and events for young and old alike. A “Heritage” group, made up of people with a passion for history, was formed in 2023. It is working on projects to bring Moutiers' past to the general public.

The Raymond Devos Library is one of the many activities on offer in Les Moutiers-en-Retz presented by the Destination Pornic Tourist Office.
