The Salon du livre de Montréal takes place from Wednesday to Sunday at the Palais des Congrès. If this great event – finally offered in its original post-COVID format – allows the public to make beautiful literary discoveries, it also offers them beautiful Christmas gifts in advance: the chance to meet Quebec figures from the world of music, film and television meeting. Here are 7 that will be part of the party.
