Walk & Talk Paris — Balade & Rencontres

Sun, Oct 18, 12:00 PM
From WALK AND TALK PARIS

**WALK & TALK PARIS** **Marcher. Rencontrer. Échanger. Découvrir Paris.** **Walk & Talk**, c’est 1h30 pour sortir de sa routine, rencontrer de nouvelles personnes et partager de vraies conversations… tout simplement en marchant dans Paris. Pas de networking forcé, pas de pression et pas besoin de venir accompagné(e). L’idée est simple : créer un moment **convivial, spontané et bienveillant**, où chacun peut faire de nouvelles rencontres tout en redécouvrant Paris à pied. 👥 **30 participants maximum** ⏱️ **Durée : 1h30** 📍 **Rendez-vous : devant Starbucks — 2 rue de la Pépinière, Paris, face à la Gare Saint-Lazare** **COMMENT ÇA MARCHE ?** 👋 **15 min — On fait connaissance** On se retrouve au point de rendez-vous, on accueille tout le monde et on explique rapidement le fonctionnement du Walk & Talk. Puis vient le premier tirage au sort : chacun découvre la personne avec qui il commencera la balade. **30 personnes = 15 binômes.** 🚶 **1h — Walk & Talk** La balade commence ! Pendant une heure, tu vas échanger avec **3 personnes différentes**, avec un nouveau tirage au sort toutes les 20 minutes. **20 min → Binôme #1** On marche, on échange et on fait connaissance. 🔀 **Nouveau tirage au sort** **20 min → Binôme #2** Nouvelle personne, nouvelle conversation. 🔀 **Nouveau tirage au sort** **20 min → Binôme #3** Une dernière rencontre pour terminer la balade. À chaque échange, des petites **questions ice-breakers** seront proposées pour lancer naturellement la conversation. Pas d’interview et pas de réponses parfaites à trouver : les questions sont simplement là pour casser la glace et laisser la discussion aller là où elle veut. 😊 🎉 **15 min — ON SE RETROUVE TOUS** Après les trois Walk & Talk de 20 minutes, on termine tous ensemble. Plus de binômes, plus de tirage au sort : **tout le monde se mélange.** C’est le moment de retrouver quelqu’un rencontré pendant la balade, de continuer une conversation, d’échanger ses contacts ou simplement de discuter avec de nouvelles personnes avant de se quitter. **L’ESPRIT WALK & TALK** 🤍 Ici, tout le monde vient avec la même intention : **rencontrer, découvrir et échanger.** Tu peux venir seul(e). Tu peux être extraverti(e), réservé(e), nouveau à Paris ou Parisien(ne) depuis toujours. Le seul vrai prérequis : venir avec **curiosité, ouverture et bienveillance**. Pas besoin d’être doué pour le small talk. On marche, on discute… et on voit où la conversation nous mène. **1 balade • 3 binômes • 3 conversations • plein de rencontres** **30 places maximum.** 📍 **Départ : Starbucks, 2 rue de la Pépinière — face à la Gare Saint-Lazare, Paris** **À très vite pour marcher, parler et rencontrer Paris autrement.**

(fr) Des plantes ? Dans le Marais ? Oui ! Et pas qu'un peu ! Et je vous invite à venir participer à une balade qui nous emmènera dans des jardins peu connus du Marais. Comme ça, vous saurez où aller chercher le calme après une séance de shopping dans le quartier. Peu connus ? Le plus connu de tous, c'est celui de la rue des Rosiers et, à côté des autres, il est très célèbre. Pourtant, j'ai rencontré plein de personnes qui ne connaissaient même pas celui-là. Alors les autres... Quelques images de ces jardins : https://youtu.be/U3GaQgfq1jI?si=q1WwgzAkMAbSOuiv Rendez-vous devant le Leica Store du boulevard Beaumarchais. À côté de la sortie 2 du métro Chemin Vert. Prévoir 2h et on finira près du Centre Pompidou. Prix libre. Suggéré : 20€. Liquide ou Wero (en) Greenery? In Le Marais? Yes! And not just a tiny bit! Let's walk and discover lesser known gardens in Le Marais. This way, you'll know where to look for a peaceful spot to go to when you go shopping there. Lesser known? The most famous is the one in Rue des Rosiers, which compared to the others is properly famous. But even this one, many walk by without noticing it. So, you've probably not even heard of the other ones. Here are a few views of these gardens: https://youtu.be/U3GaQgfq1jI?si=q1WwgzAkMAbSOuiv We'll meet in front of the Leica Store, on Boulevard Beaumarchais. That's by exit 2 of Chemin Vert metro station. We'll end close by Centre Pompidou. This is a pay as you will event. I think it's worth at least 20€. Cash or Wero.

Foraging walks are generally safe when led by knowledgeable guides who teach participants to safely identify plants. However, participants should follow guidelines provided to avoid picking or consuming anything without certainty of its safety.

Not all plants discovered during walks are edible. A key aspect of foraging walks is to educate participants on distinguishing plants that are safe for consumption from those that are not, under expert guidance.

Most foraging events will be outdoors to fully explore natural environments. However, weather and season can influence exact locations or timing, with alternative venues discussed by organizers if needed.

Meetup allows participants to join groups where they can interact with other enthusiasts, share experiences, or plan informal meet-ups or extra activities outside of official events.

Event availability depends on seasonality and group organizers. Many foraging walks are more frequent during the spring and summer months when flora is abundant, although some opportunities still exist in other seasons.
