Bulles et Flocons

Bulles et Flocons: Comics go up in the Chartreuse

The Bulles et Flocons festival is an event dedicated to comic strips held every winter in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, in the heart of the Chartreuse Regional Natural Park in Isère. This human-sized festival offers a unique setting to discover comics in a snowy mountain landscape, creating an intimate and warm atmosphere conducive to exchanges between authors and readers.

A festival driven by the association Pic Livre

Bulles et Flocons is organized by the association Pic Livre, a local organization committed to promoting comic strips and reading in mountain areas. Created in 2023, the festival has quickly found its audience and built loyalty among authors and readers thanks to its friendly format and carefully curated program, which grows with each edition.

Book Signings, Workshops, and Meetings

The Bulles et Flocons program is structured around several highlights:

• Book signing sessions: invited authors and illustrators sign their albums throughout the day
• Debates and round tables: discussions on themes related to comic strips and illustration
• BD workshops: a scriptwriting workshop for ages 12 and up, and a drawing workshop for children aged 5 and up
• Exhibitions: thematic exhibitions of graphic art and original plates, with an opening reception the week before the festival
• Bookstores: stands selling BD albums offered by partner booksellers

Talented Authors Invited

Each edition of Bulles et Flocons invites a selection of talented authors and illustrators. The 2026 edition will notably feature Mathilde Ramadier, Marion Achard, Plüme et Olivier, David Chambre, Nicolas Rouvière, and Camille Pouzol. This diversity of guests covers a wide spectrum of contemporary comic strips, from graphic novels to children's comics.
