BD dans l'Ain - Valserhône Comic Book Festival

BD dans l'Ain 2025 - 29th edition

The 29th edition of the BD dans l'Ain festival took place on 29 and 30 November 2025 at the Centre Jean Marinet in Valserhône. The poster for this edition was designed by Nora Moretti, illustrator renowned for her series Princesse Sara and le Jardin des Fées, who incorporated the Château de Musinens, an iconic landmark of Bellegarde, into her composition.

Around thirty authors, writers and illustrators were on hand to meet the public during signing sessions organised in the morning and afternoon. The programme also included exhibitions, creative workshops, activities for all ages, a free film screening and a theatre show.

The 2025 Jeunes Talents competition, based on a page to complete created by artist Clément Rizzo, allowed secondary school students from the Ain to present their creations, with the twenty best works exhibited during the festival.
