The Prix Renaudot

The Prix Renaudot 2025 has been awarded to Adélaïde de Clermont-Tonnerre for her novel Je voulais vivre.With this new novel, the author signs an intimate and poignant fresco on the desire for emancipation and the quest for self. After the success of Le dernier des nôtres, Adélaïde de Clermont-Tonnerre confirms her talent for blending elegance of style with emotional power. Her writing, at once precise and vibrant, draws the reader into a profound reflection on the strength of bonds and the fragility of destinies.\nThis novel, hailed by the Prix Renaudot 2025 jury, meeting as it does every year at Drouant, stands out as one of the great texts of this autumn's literary season.

The Renaudot Prize was awarded this Thursday, November 3 to Simon Liberati for Performance (Grasset).

The work traces the life of a 71-year-old novelist, out of inspiration, who is commissioned to write a mini-series on the Rolling Stones by prominent producers.

The jury for the Renaudot prize met on Tuesday May 10 in our elegant salon Goncourt to unveil its spring list. An annual meeting offering a selection of reading recommendations

A jury consisting of ten members meets in the Renaudot salon every year on the prize-giving day, to reward the author of “a novel or collection of short stories”. Announced on the Ruhlmann staircase at the same time as the Prix Goncourt, the Renaudot winner is then taken to the restaurant to meet the journalists.

In addition to the main prize, since 2003 the jury has awarded a Renaudot prize for essays and since 2009, a Renaudot prize for a paperback novel. Since 1992, there has also been a Renaudot prize for secondary school students.
