Brive Book Fair
The major meeting point for literary life in France
About Brive Book Fair
A National-Scale Literary Event
Since its creation, the Brive Book Fair has established itself as an unmissable event in French literary life. Every November, the city of Brive-la-Gaillarde hosts over 500 authors for three days of celebration of books and reading.
Meetings and Signings
The Fair offers a rich and varied program: meetings with authors, signing sessions, round tables, conferences, and activities for all audiences. From general literature to comics, including youth literature, all genres are represented.
A Well-Anchored Tradition
Presided over each year by a renowned literary personality, the Brive Book Fair has become over the editions a privileged place for exchanges between authors, publishers, and readers, contributing to the cultural influence of Corrèze and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
