Livres au Château de Thillombois

A literary fair in an exceptional setting

Livres au Château is a literary event that takes place in the prestigious setting of the Château de Thillombois, a historic building nestled in the Meuse countryside. Created by the association Connaissance de la Meuse, recognized as being of public utility, this fair aims to promote reading and literature in a rural area, by offering the public the opportunity to meet renowned authors in a historic heritage site.

Nationally renowned authors

Each edition brings together about fifteen authors with diverse universes: novelists, essayists, historians, illustrators, and children's authors. Round tables allow for discussions with the writers about their careers, inspirations, and latest publications. Signing sessions offer a special moment for authors and readers to connect. Among the past guests, we find the Meuse writer Michel Bernard, the wine journalist and historian Laure Gasparotto, and the illustrator Camille Tisserand.

Activities for all audiences

The festival offers a rich and varied program of activities that goes far beyond simple book signings. Visitors can enjoy captivating readings, a children's reading corner, the Graffomaton (literary portrait sessions), a comic book exhibition, a recording studio to try reading aloud, and creative workshops such as making macramé bookmarks or paper flowers.

The Château de Thillombois

The Château de Thillombois is the perfect setting for this literary fair. This historic residence, surrounded by its park, offers an elegant and peaceful environment conducive to reading and reflection. The castle's spaces are arranged as a literary bar and relaxation area where visitors can relax with a book, a coffee, and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the place.

Commitment to culture in Meuse

The association Connaissance de la Meuse, organizer of the fair, has been working for many years to promote the heritage and culture of Meuse. Livres au Château is part of this mission by offering a quality literary event, rooted in the territory and open to all audiences.
