France Bleu Provence is a partner of the 5th edition of the Dictée Marcel Pagnol in Aubagne
The unmissable meeting place for lovers of the French language
For this 5th edition, the city of Aubagne and theassociation AD2Cagain invite the general public to return to the school benches, under the benevolent gaze of Marcel Pagnol.
Didier Van Cauwelaert selects a text from the immense work of Marcel Pagnol, which he complicates to give the participants a hard time. Everyone competes in their category (under 16, adult and insider) to try to avoid the pitfalls of this new edition. Next to Nicholas Pagnol, grandson of the Academician, the novelist will read and animate this dictation, full of mischief. At the end of the day, the three winners will be chosen in each category and will receive their prize.
“We are surprised each year by the general quality of spelling and particularly by the young participants” emphasizes Philippe Amy, Deputy Mayor for Culture and Cultural Events. “Despite everything that we can read or hear about the drop in school level, this event shows that we have very good literary and Aubagnais students of all ages who love the language. »
While waiting for the award ceremony, a great interview between Didier Van Cauwelaert and the journalist and historian Thomas Rabino will be offered to you from 2.30 p.m., for the release of his latest novel “A real mother… or almost” (Albin Michel) , followed at 3:30 p.m. by a signing session.
