During the day, the festival is free and open to the public, subject to availability, offering an opportunity to meet those who fight for independent information around the world, through meetings and book signings. Several workshops allow you to learn more about the work of these journalists, not to mention activities dedicated to children, for a more playful side. From 7:30 p.m., the atmosphere becomes more festive, but you'll have to pay €15.
