De Loge van Marec
De Loge van Marec & Aspe is the bookshop, cartoon gallery and coffee house of publishing house Aspe NV in the heart of Bruges, a stone’s throw from the Market Square.

De Reyghere
Despite a long and fickle history, one thing has therefore always been very central: De Reyghere wants to be a bookstore that gives books the necessary attention, grants them their rightful place in the public and cultural fabric and offers them a platform to bring the messages they contain to the foreground. And we hope to continue in this vein for many years to come!
