Literary events Languedoc Roussillon

Since 1988, this literary festival is very popular and its godmother is none other than the famous Fred Vargas. This year, the theme "Adventure is adventure" will bring together nearly 35 novelists (literature, youth and comics) of 10 different nationalities for meetings and signings around epics, travels and castles in Spain, quests and escapes, escapes and disappearances. Passionate and curious people will meet great authors of the black novel.

The Festival du Roman Noir in Frontignan, with its program of local and international authors and a growing Occitan approach, is a must this summer. For 3 days, enjoy some twenty literary encounters, exhibitions, readings in unusual locations (a boat or even a telephone booth!), literary workshops, book signings and numerous games, competitions and events... And don't forget the 3 evenings of festive entertainment!

The Sant Jordi festival in Perpignan is a not-to-be-missed event in the literary world. For 10 days, books are in the spotlight with an attractive program including conferences, exhibitions, shows, book fairs and signings, writing workshops, tributes, film screenings and the Mediterranean prize-giving ceremony... A colorful line-up of events, with a special focus on local figures. The full program is available online.

As part of Total Festum and the promotion of Occitan culture, the Rencontres de Salinelles is a cultural event focusing on Oc literature and creations. The program includes exhibitions and conferences on a wide range of Occitan cultural themes, "poetic siestas", local music concerts, an Occitan book fair and storytelling for children. Free cultural days for young and old!

From one end of the book chain to the other, there is the author and the bookseller. The first one invents stories, while the second, in his shop, sells what has already been read. This is why organizing the Salon du Livre des Auteurs Indépendants in the heart of the village of Montolieu, where about fifteen second-hand booksellers are installed, is to establish a link, a bridge that connects the same passion: the book.
