A giant dictation in Saint-Germain-des-Prés this weekend!

Literary events undeniably shape the life of the capital every year. There's, of course, the traditional and essential Book Festival, and since last year, the Saint-Germain-des-Prés Book Fair has also made its way into the Parisian literary scene, on the Left Bank. The event is back on June 28 and 29, 2025 for a second edition that promises to be full of meetings and discoveries. It's the perfect opportunity to stock up on « pages before the beach »!
