LA FONTAINE S FABLES ILLUSTRATED BY REBECCA DAUTREMER As a key stakeholder in artistic and cultural education, the establishment was selected by the Ministry of National Education, Youth and Sport to implement the A book for the holidays campaign. From the editorial work to production and mailing, the Rmn Grand Palais publishing house built this project in its entirety with the Ministry. The choice of fables, the collaboration with a renowned illustrator, the production specificities and the means of distribution made this a particularly rewarding partnership. 900,000 copies of La Fontaines Fables, illustrated by Rébecca Dautremer, were distributed to all CM2 pupils between May and July 2021. This successful campaign has been
extended for three years with the Ministry. In September 2021, a commercial version of the publication was produced in a large format, with high-quality paper and a redesigned cover. Thanks to the reputation of the illustrator, nearly 14,300 copies of the book were sold across all bookstores; even those that do not regularly highlight publications by the Rmn Grand Palais wanted to make the book available to their customers. In November, the participation of the publishing house in the Montreuil book fair for young people was a wonderful opportunity to share its youth-centric editorial policy with the trade and readers, as well as its commitment for artistic and cultural education for all.
