Sherlock Homes, the Tour de France, travel … The diversity of holiday notebooks for adults is successful

Usually in the hands of the youngest, holiday notebooks are increasingly acclaimed by the older ones. To test your knowledge or simply take care of, adults also have a choice.

During the holidays, whether you are at the campsite or on the beach edge, maybe you bought a vacation notebook for your children, to stimulate them outside the school. Perhaps you have taken one for you too. This is the new trend of summer: holiday notebooks for adults. Frozes, general culture, historical stories, there is something for everyone. Notebooks that found their audience.

Some major cultural brands even have a dedicated radius. In a Parisian store, Nathalie, doctor, some adventure novels in her hands, stops in front of this somewhat special stand. “”History of France … that’s not bad …“She thinks, aloud. After leafing through it, she puts it in her bag. This kind of notebook makes her nostalgic, he”recall (his) childhood. I bought it to spend time in summer when I was little.“”

Another client approaches the department. Laurence, retired, goes to the beach in a few days. She explains that she “did the holiday notebooks with (her) grandchildren last week and I said to myself ‘why not continue on my side’?“She catches a book on the universe of Sherlock Holmes. Finally”a bit complicated“, she rather fell back on a notebook around the trip. “It’s no longer a game book, I tell myself that it may be more fun.”

“Fan words, questions about geography, there is a little bit everything you want in there.”

He takes a look at the most sold product list and list “The Tour de France, for example. You even have the highway code! It’s very very varied, there is really something for everyone.“”

An increase in the supply of adult notebooks that is felt in store sales, “We are between 6 and 10 %“Highway details Grégoire Sabouret,”Whether in terms of figures and sales volume, compared to last year.“”
