Youth Book Fair and Small Publishing

The Fair features over 30 authors, publishers, and booksellers, along with meetings, activities, workshops, performances, and storytelling! A literary event that highlights diversity with numerous authors, illustrators, and publishers sharing their worlds with a wide selection of books for all ages.

It’s all this and much more: it’s a bubble for escaping, sharing, exchanging, learning, and creating, all in a friendly atmosphere. With a rich and diverse program for all audiences, the Cordes sur Ciel Book Fair has powerful assets to attract readers, especially the young.

For two days, authors, illustrators, publishers, and specialized booksellers will introduce you to their universe and sign their works. All genres will be represented, from novels to comics, including manga, illustrated books, and poetry.

Exhibitions, workshops, and activities will punctuate this weekend!

This year, the fair will revolve around the theme of travel. To traverse, to cross, to discover through paths. To traverse means to move, but it also means to stop and listen to the stories offered by landscapes, works, and encounters.

A show, adapted from a children's book, will be offered each evening at the end of the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday, providing the audience with a journey into the imaginary!

A space will be dedicated to small publishing, featuring local authors and publishers presenting their latest publications, as well as an exhibition in tribute to our beloved illustrator Jean-Pierre Deruelles.

Entry is free for the fair, activities, performances, and workshops.
