The Lire la nature book fair is an opportunity to discover new authors who deal with the nature that surrounds us, and to rediscover a little-known place in the capital, the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature. For its seventh edition, the literary fair that"celebrates the links between man and nature" will explore ordinary biodiversity and extraordinary nature, on February 1 and 2, 2025, the wild flora and fauna that are under threat today.
For two days, writers and storytellers, as well as ecologists, will be on hand to discuss the environmental challenges facing humanity, and the place of Man in a society that is losing its link with nature. Some thirty nature-loving authors , including Charles Stépanoff, Jean Hegland, Cédric Gras, Carole Martinez and Jean-Christophe Bailly, will share their discoveries about the complex and fragile environment that is nature.
Playful and immersive nature-related activities await the youngest visitors: children's workshops, strolling readings, theatrical visits or a grand dictation - enough to keep them occupied while their parents listen to the debates. The François Sommer Foundation will also be announcing the winner of its literary prize, and inviting the selected authors to discuss the award, which since 1980 has honored a novel or essay exploring man's relationship with nature.
It's also an opportunity to get to know the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature a little better, and to enjoyEdi Dubien's temporary exhibition. The private mansions that house the museum open their doors free of charge, allowing visitors to admire the Grand Salon, the Mansart staircase and the vaulted rooms, which will host a temporary bookshop and workshops for the duration of the weekend.
