Books are brilliant. In a world of war and poverty, this is one of the few things which is almost universally agreed upon. Arguably, French books are even better: Zola and Camus, are just two of the pantheon of great French writers.
Thus, the Salon Page Book Fair – taking place from the 27th to the 29th of November, at the Espace Charenton in Paris – is an event which can be enjoyed by everyone, young or old, rich or poor.
At first glance, it is merely a programme of lectures and workshops about books. As such, you might think you could enjoy this without crossing the Channel. However, in practice it is much more than this.
For starters, one can meet some of the up and coming French authors who nobody in Britain has heard of. But more generally, it is about meeting refined people in a refine city: the Salon Page Book Fair affords book enthusiasts to spend time with fellow book enthusiasts amongst magnificent surroundings.
In a city which gave Victor Hugo his inspiration, Paris is a magnificent city to immerse yourself in literature. The Salon Page Book Fair gives you the chance to do just that.
