Booklette

Photobook fair

On September 20 and 21, 2025, Images Vevey and Photo Elysée join forces to organize the 4th edition of the Booklette, a fair bringing together Swiss and international photographic book publishers, created in 2022 by Images Vevey.

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