34è Carré des Ecrivains

Meet Marseille—that’s what the 34th Carré des Écrivains® invites you to do. Around a hundred authors are expected: historians, novelists, biographers, columnists, journalists, photographers, poets, illustrators... all lovers of Marseille. Organized by the Comité du Vieux-Marseille, which has worked since 1911 to protect and promote Marseille’s heritage, in collaboration with Centre Bourse, this literary and heritage event, unique in France, aims to help people in Marseille learn more about the city, its history and its heritage by welcoming authors who write about Marseille. Every year, several thousand visitors flock to meet the writers inspired by Marseille. Opening ceremony at 3 pm, including the presentation of the Prix des Marseillais® 2026, awarded by a jury of distinguished figures.
