The event, held over a weekend, featured numerous authors, including honored guests Karine Giebel and Daniel Picouly. The mayor, Stéphan Rossignol, and his deputy for culture, Joëlle Jenin-Vignaud, inaugurated the event. The fair's aisles quickly drew a large crowd eager to meet the writers and discover their latest releases.
The program included conferences, signing sessions, illustration workshops, and meet-and-greets. Artist Sunra, who created the poster for this edition, was also present to sign his work for lucky visitors. These moments allowed attendees to discuss authors' work and expand their book collections.
A particularly moving reading of the book « Ta mère et moi… » by Guillaume de Tonquédec deeply touched the audience, sensitively and humorously addressing themes of illness and family support. These personal narratives highlighted the power of sincerely shared stories.
The artistic program was also a great success, with sold-out performances for the reading-show Tonnerre de Mammouth featuring Pascale Perrier, as well as for the concert by Silent Taste. These offerings aimed to create a dialogue between literature and other forms of expression.
With nearly 4,000 visitors, this 5th edition reaffirms the unique power of books to capture attention, foster reflection, and build connections. The event's success is attributed to the presence of the authors, the commitment of the organizers and partners, and the public's curiosity.
