At their side: around fifty authors will be present during these two days, they will give pride of place to novels, short stories, well-being books, historical and detective books, without forgetting the children’s sector. A sort of Spanish reading inn which will bring together local authors and those from elsewhere.

“The desire of the municipal team is to promote culture for everyone and with everyone; It is in this spirit that we designed the third edition of the Livre en Fête de Saint-Xandre,” confides Mayor Évelyne Ferrand. “We want this event above all to be festive and friendly, around their common passion, authors and readers will be able to dialogue, exchange, share experiences and favorites,” adds Évelyne Ferrand

Each author will benefit from a highlight, during an exchange on stage with a presenter. At the end of the event, two prizes will be awarded: that of Best Novel and that of the Youth Prize. An awards ceremony which will take place on Sunday from 5 p.m. Please note that children’s author Didier Dominguez will donate part of his sales to the Les Anges de Noé association which supports parents in the loss of a young child. “We are an association providing assistance to families affected by Perinatal Bereavement in the La Rochelle and Rochefort sector,” explains Diego Almeida, the president of the association.
