  ## Culture
  
  Cuisery is one of the towns that have established a reputation as a "book town" or "village du livres". Antiquarian booksellers, used book sellers, printers, book binding artisans and small presses gravitated here. By 1999, the town's identity was forged as a center for books and artists. Each month, typically during the first week of the month, there is a grand booksellers market. The town dates to the Middle Ages.
