A must-attend, warm, and vibrant event at the heart of the French-speaking community in Switzerland
March 18–22, 2026
For nearly 40 years, the Book Fair has brought together a diverse group of authors and publishers from France, Africa, Belgium, Quebec, and Switzerland each year to celebrate the French language in all its richness and diversity.
A true literary highlight of French-speaking Switzerland and a major cultural event, the book fair is the region’s largest gathering of the publishing world. It showcases authors—whether emerging or already established—and offers a unique spacefor discussion, discovery, and reflection on the literary world.
In 2026, the Book Fair will celebrate its 40th anniversary—a special edition that promises to be a festive occasion, featuring special events and surprises to mark four decades of passion for books.
