Bringing together generations of authors with this show

But this edition will have a particular taste since it will be about the 20th ! The opportunity to propose an original meeting.

“We choose a different theme for our book fair every year,” explains Serge Bessierethe president of the Agora association.

This year, we asked authors that we have had the chance to meet over these 20 years to come back with us and introduce us to the most talented young authors of the new generation.

This is how the 24 authors present at this show were recruited.

Meetings in schools

Some of them will speak in all the schools and colleges of the Community of Communes of Collines du Perche Normand, Friday, November 8, then they will meet on Saturday and Sunday to sign their works during the show.

Two independent booksellers will sell their works, Du Côté de Bellême and Papyrus.

A collaboration with the Bellême nursing home and primary school classes will give us the opportunity to present the testimonies of our elders and our children.

At 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, story time will be hosted by Denise.

Sunday November 10, a round table will bring together five authors on the theme “From writing to images, 20 years of evolution”. It will be hosted by Patrick Bard.
