Antiquarian Book Salon of Pernes-les-Fontaines (November)

A winter salon in the Augustins convent

The Centre Culturel des Augustins occupies the former Augustins convent at the historic heart of Pernes-les-Fontaines. Its classified spaces, exposed stone and muffled acoustics make it an ideal setting. Livres Ensemble organises here in November its indoor-salon version of its bibliophile gatherings.
