What could be more prestigious than a literary festival in a castle? In the heart of the castle of La Roche-Guyon, on July 1st and 2nd 2023, enjoy literary meetings, reading tours and round tables, in a wonderful setting.

For the second year, an exceptional literary festival will be held in the castle of La Roche-Guyon, in the Val-d'Oise, on July 1 and 2, 2023. One hour from Paris, the imposing estate stands atop a hill, radiating its presence over the surrounding countryside. It is in this majestic place that one comes to participate in a meeting where readers and authors meet, through several animations for the whole family. This year, the historian Michelle Perrot is the guest of honor.

Leaning since the Middle Ages against the chalk cliff, this ancient fortress has metamorphosed over the centuries, elegantly confronting architectural styles. From the medieval dungeon to the 18th century stables , from the first troglodytic spaces to the Potager-fruitier and the English Garden, the castle offers a real journey through time, which continues through literature.

This setting will host about twenty French and foreign authors, including several local women, who are honored, such as Nathalie Sarraute, Joan Mitchell and Betsy Jolas. During round tables, the festival will explore the political and social place, as well as the intimacy of the female gender, across time and continents. A bookstore will also be on site to buy books directly, before having them signed! Reading tours are also organized to take advantage of the castle's environment, filled with greenery.
