Éditions La Peuplade

La Peuplade’s storefront on Saint-Hubert is an extension of its publishing ethos: unhurried, thoughtful, and quietly confident. Half bookshop, half literary embassy, the space doubles as both an office for the award-winning Quebec imprint and a meeting ground for readers, translators, and the city’s literary insiders. The shelves are lined with the press’s own catalogue—sleek editions from Chicoutimi to Brussels—alongside a curated selection of international works that mirror its taste for bold, border-crossing writing. There’s a sense of purpose here: the furniture is minimal, the lighting soft, the conversations deliberate. It’s a testament to La Peuplade’s belief that literature can travel without losing its accent—and that a small press from Saguenay can shape the global conversation from right here in Montreal.
