Authors for adults and young readers, painters, creative artisans, it’s all that goes into the tasty recipe of a festival cooked to perfection for its edition this Sunday, September 29.
Created in 2011, the book fair was enriched with the participation of painters, photographers and art creators. The initial objective, which was to bring together the inhabitants of the town, was quickly achieved, then exceeded, as visitors, authors and exhibitors come from further and further away each year. The Graines de culture association and the municipality are sticking to the founding idea, the recipe for a successful event: a large, bright and well-appointed room where exhibitors are comfortably seated and pampered by volunteers.
