Meeting and sharing of favourite finds with "Les livres de Léa".

Petits Palabres

Inspired by the discussion and storytelling traditions of African worlds, the "Petits Palabres" cycle is a space where the collective thinking of children and teenagers can unfold, valuing their voice as a powerful tool for reflection and connection.

How do the youngest people take hold of big ideas? Which stories do they choose to tell and to listen to?

Les livres de Léa

Léa has been reading since she was very small, and this passion has never left her – quite the opposite. Her favourite genres are romance, children's books (early years and Young Adult), contemporary novels, and she reads in English as well as French.

Today a student of publishing, she runs a blog and is active on Instagram and TikTok.
