Blue Metropolis
International Literature Festival
In spring 2021, the Blue Metropolis Festival featured more than 200 participants, including a number of authors who had recently published new titles. The richness of the titles on offer provided a prolongment of the activities in our program. This Bookstore space proposed a selection of these titles. But you can find a more exhaustive selection by vising our bookselling partner, Paragraphe Bookstore.
Happy reading!
