Encourage a taste for reading in high school students

The regional deliberations of the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens, created and organized by Fnac and the Ministry of National Education, took place this year in six cities (Lyon, Metz, Nantes, Nîmes, Paris and Rennes).

Goncourt's little brother, the Goncourt for high school students allows some 2,000 high school students each year to discover contemporary literature and to arouse in students a taste for reading.

It was awarded last year to Clara Dupont-Monod for

(Stock editions), a novel about disability.
