Salon du Livre au Château - 13ème édition

The Salon du Livre au Château returns for its 13¿ edition! This not-to-be-missed day in Saint-Max celebrates the pleasure of reading and discovering, around the theme "Les Sciences à la Page".
Over 40 authors will be on hand, alongside scientists, artists, teachers and mediators, for a day punctuated by workshops, exhibitions, screenings, lectures and even an escape game for young and old alike.
This year, the show is honored to welcome Francis Martin, world-renowned forest researcher and specialist, as guest of honor. Founder of the ARBRE laboratory of excellence in Nancy, he will share his discoveries on the fascinating underground networks linking trees and mushrooms at an inaugural meeting at 11am.
