Under the large glass roof, a book festival “in all its forms” is being prepared. Developed around an expanded program, it will cross literary genres and promote bridges with other artistic disciplines such as cinema, performing arts, visual arts or even music around shows, exhibitions, installations and performances… in a resolutely friendly and festive spirit.
With an attendance of 45% under 25 years old, the Festival will promote the youth sector, comics, manga and Young Adult, while consolidating the central place of the novel, essays and poetry. In addition, the youngest will open up to reading in the heart of a Children’s Village designed especially for them with numerous activities and creative workshops. A perfect activity for the holidays.
The international dimension of the programming will be further developed in order to decipher the major issues of our contemporary societies. In addition, the presence of the inter-profession and professional meetings will consolidate their place.
Finally, spelling lovers will find Grande Dictée! On April 11, 12 and 13, 2025, let yourself be carried away by the magic of the Festival and share your passion for literature in an exceptional place.
Meetings and signings will of course once again be at the heart of the experience, but not only that. New spaces are planned: the Grande Galerie de l’adaptation, in partnership with the SCELF, to explore the cinematographic universe of literature, the Galerie de la Mer en Commun, to celebrate in words the Year of the Sea with the Ministry of the Sea and the Extra Gallery! with the Pompidou Center…
