Explore literature

Les Escales du Livre invites the public and professionals to take part in three days of literary discoveries!
There's literature to hear and see on stage, to experience in workshops, readings and evening events, and to question and imagine in major talks and debates.
It's a programme that promotes artistic creation and diversity, with an eclectic and demanding range of literature combining big names and new talents in French and foreign literature, graphic novels and children's literature.
Two large bookshops, where you can browse, browse and buy the latest literary releases, and talk and share with local booksellers and independent publishers.
