On September 15 and 16, 2023, Images Vevey and Photo Elysée join forces to organize the 2nd edition of Booklette

A fair bringing together Swiss and international photographic book publishers, created in 2022 by Images Vevey.

The equation is simple and friendly:
Books + Raclette = Booklette, now in odd-numbered years in Lausanne and in even-numbered years in Vevey.
