Bande Dessinee

Chum and I went to the Institut Francais’s seasonal French Fair at the weekend in the French Consulate in Edinburgh. There were all sorts of folks there with tables, selling everything from handmade garments to French deli items, and these chaps, La Belle Adventure, selling French bande dessinee (graphic novels), with both English language translations and some in the original French.
I treated myself to a couple of new hardback graphic novels in French, to help me practise my French a bit more – I’d struggle to read a whole prose novel in French, but I can mostly manage a GN (and the art helps with context).
These guys have a website in development and are hoping to maybe have a physical store at some point, hoping it happens for them! www.labelleadventure.com/
