Cuisery is a commune in the Saône-et-Loire department in the region of Bourgogne in eastern France.
Located on the Seille River in Burgundy, Cuisery is one the towns that have established a reputation as a "book town" [2] 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. [3]Each month, typically during the first week of the month, there is a grand booksellers market. The town dates to the Middle Ages. [4]
