The Rendez-vous de la Bande Dessinée d’Amiens is a long-running meeting point for comics, illustration and visual storytelling in the Somme capital. For its 30th edition, the festival gathers authors, exhibitions, youth formats, signings and conversations at Halle Freyssinet. The continuity matters: Amiens has built a recognisable place in the world of bande dessinée through the local association On a Marché sur la Bulle. It is contemporary culture with roots, public access and a clear city identity.
