Since 1990 , this pleasant small village of the Aude, located between the gorges of Dure and those of Alzeau, in 17 kilometres in the Northwest of Carcassonne
, became the bastion of the book and the graphic arts.
All year round, visitors, readers and confirmed collectors, having all of them a single and the same desire which is in fact a real passion that is to say - THE BOOK - come to discover the work of craftsmen and the process of publishing a book.
During summertime, the children can take advantage of going to the creative workshops which are proposed by the book association "Word of a Man".
With their parents, they can also have a look at the exhibitions of paintings and authors' original plates of comic strips.
Something also not to forget to visit is the Conservatory of Arts and Crafts of the Book, which summarizes the history of writing and the printing works.
