1st Franco-Monégasque International Literary Festival

On Saturday, December 6, 2025, the Association named “Franco-Monégasque International Literary Festival” will organize its first Literary Festival at the Club Bouliste in Fontvieille (Avenue Marquet).

From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the public will have the opportunity to discover around fifty French-speaking authors who will exhibit some of their works. Among them: Bernard Werber, a world-renowned author whose books are translated into around thirty countries; General Dominique Trinquand, former head of the UN military mission; Nathalie Cohen, associate professor of classical literature and author of an essay and a series of ancient-themed thrillers; and author–speaker André Peyrègne, former Director of the Nice Regional Conservatory.

Among the exhibitors, visitors will also be able to discover three publishing houses and a bookstore specializing in comic books, appealing to both children and adults.

The day’s program includes meetings with authors and book-signing sessions.

The Association will also conduct interviews with the participating authors, which will later be available on its website.

Students from the Lycée Paul Valéry in Menton, accompanied by their teachers, will also take part by conducting interviews with the authors they meet.
