124 Authors Gather for Monaco's 15th International Book Fair

By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial

The Salon International du Livre returns to the Grimaldi Forum on 5 and 6 September 2026 for its fifteenth edition, with scholar Gilles Kepel as patron.

The Grimaldi Forum will host the fifteenth edition of the Salon International du Livre de Monaco on 5 and 6 September, bringing together 124 authors for one of the Principality's most established literary gatherings.

This year's edition is placed under the patronage of Gilles Kepel, the French political scientist and specialist in the Arab world and political Islam, lending the 2026 fair a distinctly geopolitical flavour alongside its broader literary programme.

For residents and visitors with an interest in ideas beyond the typical Monaco cultural calendar, the Salon offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with authors across two full days at the Grimaldi Forum on Avenue Princesse Grace.
