BD À Bastia 2027: comics and illustration in Bastia

Since 1993, the Rencontres de la Bande-Dessinée et de l'Illustration in Bastia have anchored the comics and illustration calendar in Corsica. Over four days, the Centre culturel Una Volta hosts a programme of talks, signings and exhibitions featuring rising artists alongside major names from the European scene. The event is open to both trade visitors and the general public, with a strong focus on children's and young adult illustration. It's a rare chance to experience the ninth art in an intimate island setting rather than a sprawling convention hall. Travellers coming from mainland France or abroad should book their Bastia hotel early. Most accommodation sits in the old town and around the Vieux Port, both within a short walk of the venue.
