This success“confirms that the fair is much more than a literary event: it is a major cultural rendezvous, a space for dialogue, enlightenment and discovery, in tune with the times while remaining faithful to the spirit that has inspired it since its beginnings”, emphasised its director, Natacha Bayard, quoted in a press release.

The 2025 edition has given carte blanche to a trio of guests of honour: the Franco-Swiss journalist and author Maïtena Biraben, the French writer Jérôme Ferrari, winner of the 2012 Goncourt Prize for his Sermon on the fall of Rome, and the Franco-Belgian writer Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt.
