The world of comics is a true source of wonder where imagination comes to life through drawings and captivating stories. Every year, the Montreuil-Bellay Comics Festival, organized by the Association Au Coeur des Bulles, offers comics enthusiasts a unique opportunity to celebrate this art in all its forms. This unmissable event brings together authors, illustrators, publishers and comic book fans in a friendly and enriching atmosphere.
Since its creation in 2000, the Montreuil-Bellay Comics Festival has established itself as a major event for comics in Anjou. Supported by the Au Coeur des Bulles Association, this event was born from the desire to promote and share the passion for comics within the local community and beyond.
The Montreuil-Bellay Comic Strip Festival offers a rich and varied program that will delight fans of all ages. From signing sessions with renowned authors to exhibitions highlighting emblematic works of comics, including drawing workshops for the youngest, there is something for everyone.
One of the highlights of the festival is undoubtedly the meetings with the artists. Visitors have the unique opportunity to interact with their favorite authors and illustrators, to discover behind the scenes of their work and to leave with a personalized dedication which will make their copy of a comic book a precious object.
The festival will be held May 25 and 26, 2024 in Priory of the Nobis in the medieval city of Montreuil-Bellay, located in the Loire Valley and renowned for its architectural heritage and its art of living.
The festival doors will be open Saturday May 25 from 10 p.m. to 19 p.m. et Sunday May 26 from 10 a.m. to 18 p.m..
