The Nights of Reading fall again on France from January 23 to 26, 2025. This 9e edition will focus on the theme of heritage, tangible or intangible. It will refer to the literature of the intimate, the family heritage transmitted from generation to generation by ancestors, but also the common and collective heritage which is measured on the scale of a territory, a nation and even the ‘humanity.

These nights aim to share with the public the rich French literary heritage through meetings and activities in the most famous historical and emblematic monuments of France, in libraries, in bookstores, in schools, museums, and other cultural places in France, also an integral part of the nation’s heritage.
