**Join us for a relaxed and inspiring Saturday community walk in Paris, combining meaningful conversations, connection, and a touch of networking in a beautiful outdoor setting.** At Femme Palette, we believe in the power of community to support both personal and professional growth. This event is designed to bring together like-minded women who want to connect, exchange ideas, and build genuine relationships — whether personal, professional, or somewhere in between. Let’s slow down and spend a beautiful Saturday morning together, walking through some of Paris’s most charming neighborhoods — a moment to connect, breathe, and enjoy the city in good company. We’ll meet in front of the coffee shop “Bonjour Jacob”, where our ambassador Nastya will welcome you before we set off together. From there, we’ll walk along the scenic Canal Saint-Martin, continue towards La Villette, and make our way through green spaces and iconic spots like Philharmonie de Paris, before finishing our walk at the beautiful Parc des Buttes-Chaumont. With a small group of women from the Femme Palette community, this walk offers a relaxed and supportive space to have meaningful conversations, share experiences, and connect with others who are equally motivated to grow — both personally and professionally. Whether you’re new to the community or have joined us before, this is a wonderful opportunity to slow down, meet inspiring women, and build connections in a natural, informal way. **Details:** 📅 Date: Saturday, April 18th 🕚 Time: 11:00 📍 Start location: In front of the coffee shop **[“Bonjour Jacob”](https://share.google/pIne5rgvvcVqkUHfc)**[ ](https://share.google/pIne5rgvvcVqkUHfc)– 28 Rue Yves Toudic, 75010 Paris 🏁 End location: Parc des Buttes-Chaumont **What to expect:** * A relaxed community walk through Paris (\~6 km) * Informal networking in a natural, pressure-free setting * Meaningful conversations and authentic connections * A supportive space for both personal and professional growth * Optional coffee stop during or after the walk ☕ 👉 **Please note:** We’ll start at **11:00 sharp**, and wait no longer than 15 minutes, so we can fully enjoy the walk as a group.

For alternative payments, check for available slots on the event page first. Then, submit your payment via https://revolut.me/nishuastic with a description of which event you are signing up for, and send the screenshot to one of us so that we can add you. *Please note: If your name is **not** in the attendees list and you do not have confirmation from us, you will be turned away.* **Annual Membership Option** For regular players, there is the option to take out an annual membership. This costs 80€ for the first year and is renewable for 40€ each year.

Do I need to bring anything? Water? Racquets? Birdies? * If you have your own racquet, that will be best! Otherwise, we have spare ones, and we provide the shuttlecocks.

**«Тотальный диктант»-2026 в Русском доме в Париже** 18 апреля в 13:00 в Русском доме науки и культуры в Париже состоится ежегодная международная акция «Тотальный диктант». «Тотальный диктант» призван увеличить интерес к изучению русского языка; показать, что быть грамотным — важно для каждого человека; объединить всех, кто умеет или хочет писать и говорить по-русски. Каждый год один из российских писателей создает уникальный текст. И каждый год весной люди по всему миру приходят на площадки Тотального диктанта и пишут диктант по этому тексту! Тотальный диктант — это праздник русского языка. В 2026 году для диктанта был выбран отрывок из произведения Алексея Варламова. А.Варламов — русский писатель и публицист, исследователь истории русской литературы XX века, профессор МГУ, главный редактор журнала «Литературная учёба». В мае 2026 года посетители Русского дома получат возможность лично встретиться с автором. Зачитывать текст для участников «Тотального диктанта» на площадке Русского дома в Париже будет известный блогер и искусствовед, автор телеграм-канала «А как там в Париже?» Мария Троицкая. После Диктанта у участников будет возможность пообщаться с М.Троицкой, за дружеским чаепитием задать ей вопросы о ее многогранной деятельности. В 2016 году появилась специальная версия Тотального диктанта — тест-квест TruD, а в 2025 году иностранные участники впервые написали адаптированный диктант TruD. Тест-квест TruD создан для иностранцев, которые любят и изучают русский язык в России и за рубежом. В рамках ежегодной акции франкофоны, изучающие русский язык как иностранный, получат возможность написать тест TruD в стенах Русского дома в Париже. Для этой категории участников тест будут проводить преподаватели Курсов русского языка РДНК в Париже, которые по окончании разберут и проанализируют ошибки вместе с иностранными участниками, изучающими русский язык. Вход по предварительной записи.

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism") Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war). Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
