Prix Jean Giono
The Fondation Pierre Bergé - Yves Saint Laurent supports the Prix Jean Giono. Pierre Bergé, president of the jury until 2017, met the writer in 1950. “What I owe him is ineffable,” he said, “He was my mentor, my friend, and my guide. He helped me discover so many things, had me read so many books!”
