Cuisery is located on the river Seille on the left bank of the Saône River across from Tournus. It is in the southwest corner of the arrondissement of Louhans in the area known as Bresse.
Cuisery is one of 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]
