Judith Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Jean,Sadly you are too far away for us to help, or we'd may well be able to help. However, if there is a coterie of English living in your area, why not put a notice up in your local boulangerie, or pharmacy, or supermarket etc saying you have these books available - who knows who might come out of the woodwork.

Chancer Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Unless you are looking for top money for them I would put an annonce on Leboncoin, there are plenty of French studying English or who speak English, French books cost an absolute fortune, to have a Library of books at home is a sign of wealth and intellect, books in another language even more so. In 10 years I have never seen a French family posess as many books in their lifetime as I throw out every month, most of the ones they have are the study books that they had no choice but to buy. Emmaus in Amiens has a seperate corner for foreign books, mostly English with some spanish and german ones also, its a good chance that an Emmaus in a large prosperous town will take them.

JeanS Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Thanks for all your suggestions. If Leboncoin fails, then I'll take them to Emmaus in La Chatre where I used to help out. I know they have a few shelves for foreign books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
