A theme: childhood memories dear to Marcel Pagnol

The Marcel Pagnol Prize is 24 years old. Over the years, it has honored great writers of childhood memories, demonstrating that this theme is a major inspiration in literature. This edition is no exception, with books as diverse as they are captivating once again taking center stage.

Faithful partners

The Marcel Pagnol Prize 2024 will once again be presented at the Fouquet’s Paris, a “historic” partner. On Monday, June 10th, at 7 p.m., we will gather in the beautiful salons on the first floor of this prestigious Parisian venue with the evocative name of Raimu, where Marcel Pagnol liked to gather his troupe and friends.

The invitation will be signed, based on an original artwork, by the contemporary artist FKDL.

The Marcel Pagnol Prize is endowed with €3000 by the Marcel Pagnol Endowment Fund.
