Burgundy's wine-country book festival draws thousands, hands out three prizes
The 19th edition of Livres en Vignes, held at the Château du Clos de Vougeot, brought together close to 5,000 visitors and around a hundred authors, according to organizers.
The Château du Clos de Vougeot, in Burgundy, hosted the 19th edition of Livres en Vignes on 26 and 27 September, according to Livres Hebdo. Organizers reported close to 5,000 visitors and roughly a hundred authors gathered around the festival's twin themes of literature and Burgundian heritage.
The weekend's program folded book talk together with the region's wine culture and traditions, in keeping with the festival's long-running formula of pairing literary life with local art de vivre.
Three prizes were awarded during the festival. Livres Hebdo names the winners as François-Henri Désérable, Bruno Verjus and Gautier Battistella, without further detail on the categories or the works honored.
