Comic Strips Celebrate in Bresles
Since its creation, the La Halle aux Bulles festival has enlivened the town of Bresles, south of Beauvais, every September. Organized by the team of the Madeleine Odent departmental media library, this free event transforms the Place du Linciau and its open-air hall into a true comic strip village.
Authors and Illustrators Meet the Public
Each edition hosts about twenty authors and illustrators of comic strips, manga, and children's illustration who come to sign their works and interact with readers. This direct contact between creators and their audience is at the heart of the festival's philosophy.
An Original Theme Each Year
