Marché de la Poésie - Paris

from 18 to 21 june we were exhibiting our books on Place St Sulpice at the 28th edition of the famous poetry book fair. In the days Francis was publishing poetry in Luxembourg he used to attend to this fair from 1987 till 2001. This was a wonderfull occasion to see again old friends. Though the fair is mostly about poetry, the interest in our artists' books was great... we will go back next year!
