Brought to you by a dynamic new association – the Franco-Monegasque International Literary Festival Association (FLIFM) – the Festival du Livre Franco-Monégasque will bring together more than 50 authors from around the world from 10am to 6pm.
The guest of honour and best-selling author, Bernard Werber, has sold more than 15 million copies of his books worldwide. His trilogy Les Fourmis (The Ants) has been translated into more than 30 languages.
“Bernard’s participation at this inaugural edition reflects the long-term vision of the organisers – to open the Principality to the great names of literature while giving visibility to emerging talents,” explains Raphaël Abenhaïm, FLIFM cofounder and vice-president.
Nathalie Cohen (Un fauve dans Rome) and André Peyrègne (Petites histoires féminines de la grande musique) will also be on hand for book signings and discussions, and the French-language literature promises to appeal at all generations and readers, including fans of manga and comics. Admission is free.
The first edition of the Festival du Livre Franco-Monégasque takes place at the Club Bouliste de Monaco in Fontvieille (across the street from Stade Louis II) at Espace Saint-Antoine, Avenue Marquet. Stay up-to-date with their latest news on their website and social media.
While you’re in the neighbourhood, don’t forget to check out the Christmas Kermesse at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille, also from 10am to 6pm.
