Sept. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Rome, September 21st, 2011 – The international cultural journey continues at Sofitel Rome Villla Borghese with the interesting event “ Escale à Rome”, the Italian stopover of the travelling exhibition dedicated to French literature, “Les Escales Litteraires” scheduled for September 27th.  The event, in which passion for excellence fuses together with literature, is an extraordinary encounter of people, places and culture.

Travel experiences, adventure anecdotes and narrative pieces come to life through the works of four French authors who, inspired by the priceless treasures in Rome, have translated into words feelings, sensations and memories that are closely tied to the Eternal City.

For this marvelous event, Sofitel Rome Villla Borghese is partnered with the magnificent Villa Medici which offers a glorious setting where the artists, accompanied by powerful music, will entertain the public with readings in French of their literary works. The evening will continue with cocktails at “La Terrasse Cuisine & Lounge” Sofitel’s magnificent panoramic restaurant.

Catherine Enjolet, author and essayist, is the exceptional sponsor for the evening. Her works can be considered literary jewels in which literature is joined together with social movement ideals: silence, humanitarian endeavor and social commitment are all constants in her wonderful works, always treated with great temperance.

The founding father, Denis Labile, play-writer and author of short stories, essays and novels that have received recognition and important literary awards. He is also a physician with a strong social commitment whose works are based on three important values: liberty, dignity and solidarity.
