The Paris African Book Fair is an event dedicated to African and Afro-descendant literature in Europe and will welcome nearly 150 publishers and 400 authors from Africa, Europe, the Americas and the Caribbean to Paris. Beaux-Arts de Paris éditions will be taking part with a stand showcasing its publications.

Presentation of the African Fine Book Award
As part of the 5th edition of the Paris African Book Fair, the African Fine Book Award will be officially presented on Sunday 22 March 2026 at 3.00 pm at the Hôtel de l’Industrie, 4 Place Saint-Germain-des-Prés in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. (Free admission)

La Maison de l’Afrique, in partnership with the Paris African Book Fair, established the African Fine Book Award in 2024 to encourage publishing houses, and particularly African publishers, to celebrate Africa through magnificent works. Awarded by an international jury of six members from the publishing and media sectors, this year’s jury is chaired by Pascale Le Thorel, Director of Beaux Arts de Paris éditions.
