The Lire à Guingamp association will organize the 4th edition of the Guingamp book fair on March 8 and 9, 2025. It will be held in the municipal council room in the town hall, at the theater and at the Les Korrigans cinema. The program for this literary event was imagined by Gilbert Kerleau, president of this association, and Céline Vignon, experienced programmer and bookseller. Which authors will we be able to come across there? “These are our favorites and the writers we really like,” says Gilbert Kerleau. “It’s a salon of talented, friendly writers who always empathize with their readers. All the authors presented are readable authors but with obvious literary quality. They are good books and good novels,” he adds.
