The Mouans-sartoux Book Festival: An Unmissable Event

The Mouans-Sartoux Book Festival, created in 1988, has become a major literary event on the French Riviera. Fans of novels, biographies, and poems, as well as conferences, films, and concerts, flock to it in large numbers.

A highly anticipated appointment

Every year since 1988, the small village of Mouans-sartoux located between Nice and Cannes (10,000 inhabitants) becomes a hub of literary and cultural excitement during the Mouans-Sartoux Book Festival.

Around 50,000 visitors are expected to attend this event, which brings together over 300 authors, as well as illustrators, publishers, booksellers, and librarians.

Small village, big festival

During the Mouans-Sartoux Book Festival, all the book professions are present and this small village on the French Riviera experiences a true cultural buzz for three days.

For the occasion, animation workshops for young people are organized in registered schools, colleges, and high schools. Visitors are also invited to participate in writing workshops, meetings with authors and illustrators, debates, and a literary café.

Poetry and story readings are offered, as well as film screenings and previews at the La Strada cinema media library.
