An address settled in Douai
Les poèmes de Cythère has occupied 73 rue du Canteleu since November 2011, the date when the shop took over from the old Liberty's boutique. It's a small shop, the kind you might pass on a neighborhood street without necessarily noticing it the first time.
This modest format changes the mood: we're far from the impersonal erotic superstores, more in a neighborhood shop where local customers have their habits.
What you'll find on site
The shop offers sexy lingerie, both for women and men, which isn't so common in this type of business. Add to that sex toys, accessories and a range of cosmetics with an erotic focus.
The selection stays built around these four product families, without branching into other territories (no mention of a video area or a book section, for instance).
Hours and access
The shop opens Monday to Saturday, with hours that vary by day. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, it's 10am to 12pm then 2pm to 6:30pm. On Thursday, opening is limited to the afternoon, from 2pm to 6:30pm. On Saturday, you'll find the same morning and afternoon split, but only until 6pm. Closed on Sunday.
- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: 10am-12pm and 2pm-6:30pm
- Thursday: 2pm-6:30pm
- Saturday: 10am-12pm and 2pm-6pm
- Sunday: closed
These hours split into several slots fit the rhythm of a downtown shop rather than one open non stop, worth planning for if you're passing through the area.
