The annual short‑story collection ‘13 à table!’ will be released on 5 November, with proceeds supporting France’s Restos du Cœur charity.

The 13th edition of the charitable anthology ‘13 à table!’ is scheduled for publication on 5 November.

Each year the volume gathers new short stories, with all sales revenues earmarked for the Restos du Cœur food‑bank network.

This year’s edition will be issued by the Pocket imprint, continuing the partnership that has linked the publisher with the charity since the series began.

Organisers anticipate that the new collection will follow the tradition of previous volumes, offering readers a mix of contemporary French fiction while raising funds for the humanitarian cause.
