November 13, 2024

A week after the Brive Book Fair, the unmissable event for literature lovers is held in Cantal, in Laroquebrou. The small town of character welcomes around fifty authors this year, for the 27th edition of its Book Fair.

Nearly 55 authors from varied literary backgrounds

Co-organized by the association Roque Culture Evasion and the Municipalitythe fair welcomes nearly 55 authors, gathered in the Laroquebrou multipurpose room. Thanks to the commitment of the Muriel Crantelle from the Point-Virgule bookstore in Aurillac, a great diversity of genres is offered!
The public is not mistaken: every fall, 2,000 to 3,000 people enjoy discussions and signings, in a friendly and warm atmosphere.

“Every year the authors appreciate the family atmosphere of the meeting”, Pierre Audissergues, president of the organizing association.

Alongside the 45 authors “invited” by Point-Virgule, 5 independent authors and 3 publishing associations will also be there.

Activities at the town hall

At the town hall, a used book market will be offered all day by the parents' association. The association “ici on lit” will invite reading aloud.

Abandoned for several years, dictation makes a comeback. Lovers of beautiful texts will meet at 11 a.m…. at the Laroquebrou school!

In the heart of the fair, at 11 a.m., the author Laurent Occelli will host a conference on edible plants, “Discovering wild plants”.

This year, drinks and pastries will also be offered all day.
