Cavalier House Books is a local independent bookstore dedicated to connecting readers with stories and each other in the Livingston Parish Antique District. This local shop brings people together with books, events, and a welcoming space for everyone in the community.
Founded by John and Michelle Cavalier, the business began in 2005 while the couple was still in college. Since then, they've grown, opening their first store in 2009, moving to their current Denham Springs location in 2022, and opening a second store in downtown Lafayette in 2024.
What sets Cavalier House Books apart is its deep-rooted focus on community and curiosity. Whether it’s hosting book clubs, supporting school fundraisers, sourcing French literature, or organizing creative events, the shop thrives on engaging with its patrons. As Michelle Cavalier notes, “If it sounds fun and bookish, we’re in!”
As a family-owned business, Cavalier House Books is committed to active community involvement. The bookstore frequently collaborates with local schools and organizations, reflecting its dedication to enriching the community beyond its shelves.
The store is located at 114 North Range Avenue in the Denham Springs Antique District. Visit www.cavalierhousebooks.com, follow Cavalier House Books on Facebook, or @chbbookstore on Instagram. For inquiries, call 225-664-2255.
