In these sessions, there will be 15 minutes of French conversation followed by 15 minutes of English conversation. At the end of the 30 minutes, we’ll switch the tables and you’ll be placed on a new table with new persons (Hence, you’ll meet at least 9 to 12 different persons in an event) ! The purpose of the event is mainly focused on the language and cultural exchange, on top of creating friendly and professional links !

Read & Meet #6 : Désenchantées de Marie VAREILLE

Hello à tous 😊 Pour cette prochaine lecture commune, nous (re)découvrirons l’univers de Marie Vareille à travers Désenchantées, un roman psychologique mêlant mystère, secrets et amitié. Nous vous proposons donc de nous retrouver le **samedi 28 novembre 2026** **à 15h** autour d'un goûter dans un salon de thé à Paris pour échanger sur nos impressions du livre. ***En voici le résumé :*** La disparition de Sarah Leroy, quinze ans, a bouleversé la petite bourgade de Bouville-sur-Mer et ému la France entière. Dans chaque foyer, chaque bistrot, on élaborait des hypothèses, mais ce qui est vraiment arrivé, personne ne l’a jamais su. Vingt ans plus tard, Fanny revient sur les lieux de ce drame qui a marqué sa jeunesse. Et c’est tout un passé qu’elle avait préféré oublier qui resurgit... Car l’histoire de Sarah Leroy, c’est aussi un peu la sienne, et celle d’une bande de filles qui se faisaient appeler les « Désenchantées ». Une histoire qui a l’odeur des premières cigarettes et du chlore de la piscine municipale, des serments d’amitié et surtout, des plus lourds secrets. ***Notre bookclub, c'est aussi :*** 💬 Une rencontre mensuelle autour d'une lecture commune choisie ensemble et accessible à tous 📖 Des événements littéraires et des échanges autour de nos lectures (cafés littéraires, bookclubs, rencontres avec des auteurs, reading party…) 🤝Un groupe de trentenaires qui aime partager, faire vivre le club ensemble et accueillir de nouvelles personnes 📅 D'autres occasions de se retrouver : brunchs, pique-niques, sorties culturelles… selon les envies du groupe **Merci de prendre connaissance des informations ci-dessous avant de t'inscrire** 🙂 * La participation à l'événement est gratuite — Chacun règle sa consommation sur place. * Paris📍 — Le lieu exact de rendez-vous sera communiqué aux inscrits dans le fil de discussion. * Les places étant limitées, merci de t'inscrire uniquement si tu es sûr(e) de venir. En cas d’empêchement, merci de me prévenir afin de libérer la place pour quelqu’un d’autre sur liste d’attente. Une confirmation de présence sera demandée quelques jours avant l'événement. A bientôt ! Victoria

Offline Silent Reading & Meet new People

Welcome to our very first Njikọta gathering: **Offline Hours: A Silent Reading Social.** ​For the first part of our time together, we’ll put our phones away in a secure box provided by our host. If you’d rather keep yours with you, that’s absolutely fine too; simply switch it off or put it away in your bag. ​We’ll spend the first hour reading in silence, followed by 45 minutes to an hour of book talk, conversations, and relaxed chit-chat. Share what you’re reading, hear about someone else’s book, or simply enjoy being around others. ​There is no pressure to speak, no awkward introductions, and no expectations. You’re welcome to join the conversation or just sit back and listen. ​**A little note before you RSVP:** * ​**Bring a physical book**; whatever you’re currently reading or have been meaning to pick up. * ​**Limited spots available:** Please RSVP only if you’re confident you can make it. If your plans change, kindly cancel your spot so someone else can join. * ​**Free to attend:** We’re lucky to have our lovely host café providing us with a space for free, so we ask each guest to purchase at least one coffee or other drink to support them. ​Come touch grass. See you soon. 🤎 **​— Njikọta**

Paris Café Philo – LIVE ! Monthly Meeting (in English)

This is our monthly Paris Café Philo, held in person and in English. The group has been meeting since 1997. On the first Wednesday of each month we meet in a public place. This time we meet at the Café de la Mairie, 8 Pl. Saint-Sulpice, 75006 Paris, France. In addition, EVERY WEDNESDAY we have ONLINE meetings via ZOOM. Please check the relevant events listed on our Meetup group: [https://www.meetup.com/english-cafe-philo-in-paris/](https://www.meetup.com/english-cafe-philo-in-paris/) *** **What is a Café Philo?** Participants propose topics, we choose one together, and then discuss it in an open yet orderly way. But what counts as a topic? A topic can be a question about the meaning of life, our relationship to the world we live in, the difference between good and evil, how we distinguish truth from falsehood, reality from illusion, or beauty from its absence. There are many such deep questions that philosophers, scientists, and writers have grappled with throughout history. If you are interested in exploring these or other questions, we invite you to join our philosophical café – a gathering where you can express your ideas, share your knowledge, and perhaps discover something new. Our discussions are serious and rigorous, yet often enjoyable. No background in philosophy or the humanities is required. If you do have one, you are of course very welcome. *** **Format** A moderator guides the discussion, ensuring that every participant has the opportunity to contribute in a welcoming environment. No one is obliged to speak. Maximum number of participants: 30. This is **not** a lecture. It is an exchange of ideas in which your questions and perspectives are genuinely valued. The tone is respectful; views that are contemptuous of human dignity will not be entertained. *** **Who Can Attend** Everyone, regardless of background or level of philosophical knowledge – from seasoned philosophers to anyone simply curious about life's big questions. *** **Cost** Participation is free. Contributions are welcome. *** Welcome! *Michael M.*

Cosy Cave Conversations // 10ème // Café philo in English

**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh. A few things to be aware of: * **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list) * If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session * The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session. **If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session. * Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along **How does it work?** We embrace the café-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🦦 **Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity. **Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉 A few tips for a great session: * come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠 * **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂 * we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking 🐻‍❄️ * we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english 🤠 * we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment 🐥

Café des langues

[Version française en dessous] Hi! We are aiming to recreate the atmosphere of the Franglish language exchange sessions : you get 30 minutes with a language partner speaking the language you want to practice, then switch to another partner, all while enjoying a drink! Equal time for everyone, and everyone will get to practice! For example if you are an anglophone and want to practice French, you will be paired with someone, speak English for 15 minutes, then switch to French for 15 minutes. After that, you will get a new partner, and start all over again. There will be a 5€ entry fee (in cash or with the Lydia app), and participants will have to buy one drink or get something to eat. We will have a short break around 8:30, when you'll be able to grab something to eat: \- Drink and mezze set for 8€ \- Small/large mezze plate with cheese and/or charcuterie 8/15€ (reserve your food here ccvillejuif@gmail.com) Salut ! Nous souhaitons recréer l'atmosphère des rencontres Franglish : 30 minutes avec un.e partenaire qui parle la langue que vous voulez pratiquer, et ensuite vous passez à un.e autre partenaire, le tout en profitant d'un verre ! Autant de temps de parole pour tous et toutes, et tout le monde pourra pratiquer ! Par exemple si vous êtes anglophone, et vous souhaitez pratiquer le français, vous serez en face de quelqu'un qui parle anglais pendant 15 minutes, puis vous passerez tous les deux au français pendant 15 minutes. Après ça, vous changerez de partenaire, et tout recommence. 5€ de participation (en liquide ou avec l'appli Lydia) seront demandés à l'entrée, et les participants devront commander une consommation. Nous ferons une courte pause vers 20h30 qui vous permettra, si vous le souhaitez, de profiter d'une petite restauration ; \- Forfait boisson / mezze : 8 € \- petites ou grandes assiettes mezze avec fromage et/ou charcuterie \(8 €/15 €\) (réservation ccvillejuif@gmail.com)

Sunday Writing Session

A weekly writing session brought to you by Paris Lit Up. Every Sunday morning, we get together at Neuvième Sauvage for two hours of writing. There are no exercises, workshops or assigned prompts. The idea is simply to have a regular time and place to sit down, work on whatever you’re writing, and do it in the company of other writers. Bring whatever you’re working on—fiction, poetry, nonfiction, a screenplay, an essay, or anything else—and whatever you like to write with. Laptops, tablets, notebooks and pens are all welcome. From 10:00 to 12:00, we write. There’s no pressure to share your work or talk about what you’re writing during the session. You can simply grab a coffee, find a seat and get some words down. Neuvième Sauvage also has good coffee and some nice breakfast options if you’d like something while you write. At 12:00, once the two hours of writing are over, those who want to stick around are invited to share what they’ve been working on. You can read something aloud, talk a little about what you’ve been writing, or just listen. Other participants are welcome to offer some light feedback, and it’s also a chance to chat and socialise after the morning’s writing. The Sunday Writing Sessions are free to attend. Neuvième Sauvage 20 Rue Gérando, 75009 Paris Sundays, 10:00–12:00 When you arrive, go up two levels. You’ll find us on the top floor. All genres and levels of experience are welcome.
