Chariva'livre: Fantasy Literature at the Heart of Charivari

Born within the medieval fantasy festival Charivari, Chariva'livre is a book fair dedicated to fantasy literature held every late August in the medieval streets of Billom. Since its creation, it has become an anticipated event for lovers of speculative fiction in Auvergne.

A Fair in the Heart of the Medieval Universe

Chariva'livre benefits from an exceptional setting: the medieval district of Billom, with its half-timbered houses and cobbled streets, offers a natural backdrop that extends the literary experience. The authors' stands are integrated into the medieval and fantasy atmosphere created by Charivari, inviting visitors on a journey between the pages and reality.

Authors of the Imaginary

Each edition brings together authors of fantasy literature, fantasy, science fiction, and medieval literature:

• Fantasy novels and fantasy for adults and young adults
• Children's literature with a medieval and fantasy theme
• Comics and illustrations of the imaginary
• Medieval historical accounts and regional legends

Meetings and Signings

Chariva'livre is above all a meeting place between authors and their public. Visitors can:

• Discover the latest publications from the authors present
• Obtain personalized signings
• Exchange with authors about their creative universes
• Participate in public readings and presentations

A Free and Family Event

Like Charivari, which hosts it, Chariva'livre is an entirely free event. It is aimed at all audiences, from young readers to seasoned fantasy literature enthusiasts. The friendly and relaxed atmosphere of the fair encourages exchanges and literary discoveries.

Supported by Billom Renaissance

Organized by the association Billom Renaissance, Chariva'livre is part of the initiative to promote Billom's medieval heritage and create unifying cultural events. The fair contributes to the literary animation of the region and the promotion of speculative fiction in Auvergne.
