The Nuits de la lecture (Reading Nights) return in 2026 for their 10th edition, with the theme of ‘Cities and Countryside’ in literature
The 10th Nuits de la lecture (Reading Nights), organised by the Centre national du livre (French National Book Centre), this year focuses on the theme of ‘Cities and Countryside’, echoing the intimate, the collective, the common heritage, the tangible cultural heritage, the place or the building. Over 4 nights, thousands of physical and digital events are being held all over Paris to celebrate this rich literary exploration of heritage.
