Livre en Fête

The great literary fair of Périgord

Founded in 2010 by the association Lire en Fête de Champcevinel, the Livre en Fête fair has become in a few years the unmissable literary event of Grand Périgueux. Every June, it hosts about sixty authors from all backgrounds — novelists, essayists, children's authors, historians — for a weekend of meetings and exchanges with the public.

Literary prizes and meetings

The fair awards the La Boétie and Augiéras literary prizes each year, recognizing works related to Périgord or literary creation. The program includes literary cafés, thematic debates, literary breakfasts open to the public, and musical entertainment.

A space dedicated to young readers

The fair places great importance on the young audience with a dedicated space hosting a dozen children's authors. Reading workshops, meetings, and specific activities are offered to children and their families.
