Cogolin Autumn Book Fair

The fair that keeps winter evenings company

Second date of the yearly cycle, the autumn book fair takes place on Saturday 7 November 2026, 9am to 5pm, in the town centre. It completes the spring fair (30 May 2026) and gives Gulf of Saint-Tropez bibliophiles a new literary date as mild Provence invites more reading.

Like in spring, it is a focused alternative to generalist flea markets. Exclusively books and printed matter, across many formats, periods and themes. Mostly private sellers, plus local cultural associations and a few second-hand booksellers.

An autumn-tuned offer

• Novels, thrillers, sci-fi, fantasy
• Coffee-table and art books (great gifts)
• Children's and young adult
• Comics and manga
• Old books and first editions
• Regional and Provençal literature
• Cooking, travel, gardening
• Technical and specialist books

Prep for Christmas

November is perfect for year-end gift shopping. The fair offers low prices for Christmas presents and rare finds for personal libraries. Beautifully bound books are especially present.

Tips

• Come early for rare items
• Bring sturdy bags
• Have a gift list ready
• Bulk negotiation possible

Cogolin in autumn

In November, the Gulf of Saint-Tropez regains its pre-summer calm. Cogolin, in wooded hills, has one of the best-preserved historic centres. After the fair, relax at a café, wander the old village or visit the Ribbon and Weaving Conservatory.
