In Nîmes, the Biography Festival invites you on a literary and intimate journey. As co-organizer Christian Giraud points out, “the aim of this festival is to make the child want to come and listen and meet people until they retire. We have concerts, we have workshops for children, since we also have a children’s section, with authors who go to schools to explain what writing is, writing about oneself, writing about someone. It’s interactivity and asking questions.» This year’s theme, “Memories of adventurers», promises great stories throughout this weekend at the Carré d’Art.
All the details of the program are on the official festival website
