Festival BD Bulles d'Histoires

Comics Celebration in Jarville-la-Malgrange

The Festival BD Bulles d'Histoires is a comic book fair held annually in April at the Collège-Lycée La Malgrange in Jarville-la-Malgrange, in the southern suburbs of Nancy. Organized by the school and its association, this friendly festival brings together authors, illustrators, and comic book enthusiasts in an unusual and warm setting.

Over 25 Artists for Signings

Each edition of the festival hosts over 25 authors and illustrators who come to sign their albums and interact with the public. The fair offers a wide diversity of styles and genres: classic Franco-Belgian comics, historical comics, manga, fantasy, science fiction, humor, and children's comics. Visitors can discover new talents and meet established authors.

Thematic Exhibitions

The festival features original exhibitions centered around the year's theme. In 2025, for its 8th edition, Bulles d'Histoires paid tribute to cinema with an exhibition of about twenty drawings by Gwendal Lemercier representing famous actors and actresses. The 2026 edition will highlight history and fantasy universes populated by elves and goblins.

Encounters and Activities

Beyond signings, Bulles d'Histoires offers encounters with authors, fun activities, and drawing workshops for the younger ones. The family-friendly atmosphere of the festival, held in a school, makes it a particularly welcoming event for families and young readers.

An Original School Setting

The Collège-Lycée La Malgrange, located at 76 avenue de la Malgrange in Jarville-la-Malgrange, provides a spacious and suitable setting for the fair. The school's rooms are transformed for a day into exhibition galleries and signing areas, creating a unique atmosphere that distinguishes Bulles d'Histoires from other comic book fairs in the region.

An Event Rooted in Local Life

The Festival BD Bulles d'Histoires contributes to the cultural influence of Jarville-la-Malgrange and the greater Nancy area. By associating the world of comic books with education, it encourages reading and creativity among young audiences while offering a moment of relaxation and discovery for comic book lovers of all ages.
