Your appetite whetted by our travel page and the Institut Francais festival, see www.salon-livre-presse-jeunesse.net for this year’s 20th Salon du Livre et de la Presse Jeunesse on November 24 to 29 at Montreuil on the outskirts of Paris. The “professional days” of Saturday November 27 and Monday November 29 promise sessions on interpretations of “Little Red Riding Hood” , the real and the imaginary in teenage fiction and a celebration of that great French art form, the bande-dessinee. All the trappings of France’s biggest children’s book event - the website; the programme; the theme of “la gourmandise”; the workshop spaces including the Salon Verte (pictured); the “autoportraits de lecteurs” on www.arapa.net - are stylish and intriguing. Think about turning the school sessions on Wednesday to Friday into an MFL school visit for next year (all events are in French).
