About Fougères Youth Book Fair
The Fougères Agglomération Youth Book Fair is one of the oldest and most important events dedicated to youth literature in Brittany. Each year, over four days in mid-November, it brings together about thirty French-speaking youth authors and illustrators at Espace Aumaillerie for book signings, workshops, readings, shows, and meetings with schoolchildren and the public.
The Fougères Agglomération Youth Book Fair
Organized by the Fougères Agglomération media library network, the Fougères Youth Book Fair is a major literary event dedicated to literature for children and teenagers. It takes place every year in mid-November, over four days, at Espace Aumaillerie, in Fougères (Ille-et-Vilaine, Brittany).
An event for the whole family
The fair welcomes about thirty youth authors and illustrators, whose works are published by an editor, for book signing sessions, writing and illustration workshops, readings, and shows. The first two days are dedicated to school meetings (several thousand students from the area); the weekend is open to all audiences. Admission to the fair is free, only certain youth shows are paid.
An event rooted in the territory
Beyond Espace Aumaillerie, the fair extends its reach to the agglomeration's media libraries with decentralized exhibitions and workshop-meetings. Edition after edition, it has established itself as one of the major youth book fairs in the West, attracting several thousand visitors.
Information and program
The detailed program (guest authors, workshops, shows, schedules) is published annually on the official website salondulivrejeunesse.fr and on the fair's social media.
