Every spring, the Deauville Books & Musics Festival honors writers inspired by music. Dozens of authors and musicians animate this Festival on a different theme for each edition.

On the occasion of the anniversary of May 1968, the Festival examines the way in which literature and music have accompanied the great movements of revolt.

In 2018, the Books & Music Festival celebrates its 15th anniversary! Fifteen years is adolescence, the age of possibility, dream, and metamorphosis. It is the time of no, of protest. And artists, writers, musicians, have their part to play in the art of revolt. It is to this aesthetic and subjective fresco that the Festival will echo: an evocation of this part of ourselves, always alive, by putting the spotlight on literatures and protest music. A nod to the fifty years of the events of May 68.
