Beauvais Book Fair

Literature Celebrated in Beauvais

Every year in April, the Place Jeanne-Hachette in Beauvais hosts the "Beauvais Ô Cœur du Livre" Book Fair. This literary event, organized by the association Les Sources, has become a must-attend gathering for lovers of reading and literature in the Oise.

Meet the Authors

The fair brings together numerous authors and publishers from all over France. Novels, essays, poetry, children's literature, comics, and regional books are represented in all their diversity. Visitors can meet the authors, attend signing sessions, discuss works, and discover the behind-the-scenes of literary creation.

A Space Dedicated to Youth

The Book Fair places great importance on children's literature. Fun and educational workshops are offered to children to introduce them to the pleasure of reading: storytelling, literary games, writing workshops, and book creation. Children's authors are present to share their passion with the youngest readers.

Conferences and Round Tables

Conferences and round tables punctuate the day, addressing various literary themes: writing, the publishing profession, contemporary literature trends, and the relationship of new generations to reading.

A Free and Friendly Event

Admission is free, making this event accessible to as many people as possible. The warm and relaxed atmosphere of the fair encourages exchanges between authors, publishers, and readers in a spirit of sharing and discovery.

Place Jeanne-Hachette

The Place Jeanne-Hachette, in the heart of Beauvais' historic city center, offers a pleasant and lively setting for the fair. Close to the Saint-Pierre Cathedral and the main shops, it benefits from an ideal location that attracts strollers and the curious.
