The Romainmôtier Book Fair returns for its 34ᵉ edition. More than 100,000 used books, carefully classified and showcased, will offer visitors a unique bargain-hunting experience.

An ephemeral bookshop at the heart of heritage
The Romainmôtier Book Fair returns for its 34ᵉ edition and will transform the Cantine de Champbaillard into a veritable ephemeral bookshop. More than 100,000 second-hand books, carefully classified and displayed, will offer visitors a unique bargain-hunting experience, between heritage, nature and conviviality.

An incomparable atmosphere
Created in 1992, every year the Fair attracts visitors from all over French-speaking Switzerland and the cross-border region. In a warm setting of wooden bookcases designed by organizer Jan Reymond, a cabinetmaker with a passion for books, each volume finds its place, presented as it would be in a traditional bookshop. Here, the pleasure is as much in the discovery as in the strolling.

A cultural and human experience
As well as selling books, the Fair is also a place for encounters and discoveries:
- Workshops and demonstrations: craft bookbinding, calligraphy and illumination.
- Meetings with authors: Céline Rohrbach (September 14), Olivia Gerig and Daniel Sangsue (September 20).
- Unusual events: literary and heritage walks in the medieval town, interactive book games for young and old.

Each event contributes to making the Fair much more than just a book market: it's a genuine cultural event, open to all generations and accessible to all.
