An event to experience as a family with, on the program, nature or creative workshops, exhibitions, shows… to discover on Saturday October 12 and Sunday October 13.
Whether you are a fan of classic novels, thrillers or adventure stories, fans of manga or comic books, fans of the object as such… books have this intoxicating capacity to break our hearts, we seize us with fear or fill us with joy. And above all to open up to others. The Department of Hérault is offering, on Friday 11 (reserved for associations), Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October, a new edition of its Livres en scène festival, at the Bayssan estate. Non-exhaustive review of a program that wants to make you think as well as entertain.
