The book fair of Grand Périgueux in Champcevinel

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.
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.
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.
The 17th edition of Livre en Fête is expected in June 2026 in Champcevinel, with a new program of literary encounters and activities.
