The Prix Décembre, originally known as the Prix Novembre, is one of France's premier literary awards.
It was founded under the name Prix Novembre in 1989 by Philippe Dennery[1][2] (Michel Dennery, according to other sources[3]).
In 1998, the founder resigned after he disapproved awarding of the prize to Michel Houellebecq's novel Atomised.
The prize then got a new patron – Pierre Bergé – and a new name: Prix Decembre.
