The boutique café

SHOP

The shop/bookshop sells publications from the Frac Grand Large, as well as a selection of books related to the collection or the programme, both in-house and off-site: catalogues, essays, literature, etc. 

Particular attention is paid to the children’s section, which features picture books, novels and colouring books. Various stationery items (Corinne’s corner sells bits and bobs, a stationery shop in Charleroi), games, artists’ prints and souvenirs are also available there. From July onwards, a space will be dedicated specifically to local creators.

A press corner gives you access to the latest news from the art world, with a constantly updated selection of specialist newspapers and magazines.

COFFEE

The café area, featuring designer furniture by Lang/Baumann, is the perfect spot for a chat over a coffee, a tea or herbal tea, an organic fruit juice or even a local soft drink. We have chosen partnerships that align with our values, notably by sourcing our coffee from Café MUDA, which offers certified organic, artisan-roasted coffee (an artisan roaster based in Lille, runner-up in the 2026 French Roasting Championship). Driven by a desire to promote our local businesses, we have partnered with Le Vent des thés (a tea and speciality shop in Dunkirk) and La Dunkerquoise (a biscuit factory in Bergues renowned for its artisanal waffles). We also offer Lutun chicory (artisanal roasters in Oye-Plage) to enjoy here or take home. This caffeine-free drink is grown and processed locally. Loven Crew, the Au Pif brewery, Goodsy and Monsieur Muesli have joined our list of local suppliers. 

The shop, bookshop and café area is open to everyone, free of charge, regardless of whether you are visiting the exhibitions. The area is open to remote workers (Wi-Fi, power sockets, water dispenser, lockers).

PHOTO

Capture your visit to the Frac by stepping into the Tabobine photo booth, designed and manufactured in France. Whether you’re on your own, as a couple or in a group, this is a memento of your visit that you can keep forever. In July and August, you’ll find the photo booth in the Halle AP2.

SHOPPING

Every Friday afternoon, you can collect your shopping there through the Collectif Le Court Circuit, a co-operative made up of 49 farmers and artisans. Fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy products, drinks… you’re free to order produce sourced exclusively from the Hauts-de-France region via the website: https://lecourtcircuit.fr/.
