La BD prend l'air
Comic book festival in Cajarc, Lot
2026
About La BD prend l'air
Every year in late September, "La BD prend l'air" brings comic book enthusiasts together in the village of Cajarc, in the Lot department. Organized by a non-profit volunteer association, the event connects authors, publishers, and the public through a series of exhibitions, book signings, and meet-and-greets held across various village venues. The festival also hosts school outreach programs to introduce young people to the art of drawing and comics. Each year, the event presents the Safran d'Or, a public-voted award, as well as a Discovery Prize for emerging authors.
La BD prend l'air — edition 2026
For its 27th edition, the festival welcomes Alfred as guest of honor, featuring an exhibition dedicated to his forty years with Delcourt. Twenty-five authors will be on hand for signings and meet-and-greets over two days, alongside exhibitions, children's workshops, and a debate on the history of the Larzac.
