Reading but not only…
The Haute-Tinée Book Festival brings together local publishers (Baie des Anges, Gilletta, Mémoires Millénaires), their authors and artists (Anthony Alberti, Patrick Moya, Catherine Caroff and Florence Schumpp) who introduce our children to creation and stimulate their imagination, because a large part of the festival is dedicated to young people: stories of mountain animals for toddlers, various stories for older children, fantastic adventures for teenagers, it is an invitation to fascinating reading who awaits them.
It is on the place of Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage that the 2022 Festival will open and it is in the magnificent hamlet of Roya that it will end. Between these two authentic sites with a well-established pastoral tradition, the caravan of words will settle at the foot of remarkable buildings, the bell tower of Saint-Etienne-de-Tinée and the chapel of Saint-Erige d’Auron.
