Indulge Your Inner Child at the Comic Strip Festival

Holidaymakers will soon be able to give in to the side of them that still clings on to their childhood interests, as the International Comic Strip Festival gets underway in France.

Between January 24th and 27th this event takes place throughout the entire town centre of Angouleme.

Dismissed by some high-brow art lovers as kids' stuff but embraced by many others as joyful explorations of romance and storytelling, comic books and graphic novels never fail to prompt a reaction.

The city of Angouleme does a good job of hosting an event to explore the full significance of comic book art, with a central display taking place in the city's museum.

But it is throughout the rest of the city that the influence of the celebration can be felt, with the cathedral, cultural institutions, shops and even banks taking on a comic book feel.

Visitors staying in hotels in France who decide to explore the city will be able to find exhibitions, workshops and multimedia displays all dedicated to the comic book.
