Lettres d'Europe et d'Ailleurs

See each scene deep, love it like a complex faceted jewel. Get the light, shadow & vivid color. Set scene the night before. Sleep on it, write it in the morning.

This festival brings together once a year authors from Europe and elsewhere. Dedicated to the exploration of writing, languages and the contemporary world, these writers’ meetings, originally organized by the association Les Amis du Roi des Aulnes, take place in public and notably question our relation to reality, climates, animality, politics and poetics.

In a changing world, we would like to link different linguistic spheres.

We organize these debates in co-construction with cultural institutes, bookshops and universities.

ZONES SENSIBLES
2021

on everyone's lips, even behind our masks, the word "crisis" comes up again and again. Health crisis, ecological crisis, economic crisis, crisis of civilizations... It's like a relay stick being passed around, in the middle of an athletics race that would be called "The World After".
