This bookstore-cafe is installed in place of the former waiting room of the Mutzig train station, redesigned under the orders of Emperor Wilhelm II who had the fort built above the town.
The Cricetus is a small place to live: 42m² of sales area dedicated to books (general bookstore), a "tea room" set up on the terrace, a direct connection with the Trace Verte bicycle repair workshop and VéloLand store, a place for exchange and meetings centered around books and writing.
