Furet du Nord is a well-established French bookshop chain, originating in Lille in 1936. Initially a fur store, it transformed into a bookstore and has since grown to become one of the largest book retailers in France. The name "Furet du Nord," which translates to "Ferrets of the North," reflects the spirit of book hunting. The company offers a vast selection of over two million books and e-books, covering various genres including literature, thrillers, science fiction, and children's books. In addition to books, Furet du Nord features a games and leisure department with board games and activities for all ages, as well as a range of stationery products.

Furet du Nord has expanded its presence through strategic acquisitions, including the Decitre group in 2019, and is committed to community engagement through partnerships that promote cultural accessibility. The company also focuses on creating a modern shopping experience with contemporary store designs.
