The end of the 19th century saw the birth of both photography and the Impressionist movement, which profoundly changed painting.

**📵 This is a phone-free event by The Offline Club.** Hi lovely person, this listing is for discovery only —tickets are managed through Lu.Ma[ 👉 Please confirm your spot here.](https://luma.com/rrwr9vup) \*\*\* ​🇫🇷 **Description française (English version below 👇)** *** ​📚 Rejoins-nous pour transformer le Trocadéro en la plus grande salle de lecture à ciel ouvert de Paris lors de notre troisième **Reading Rave** d'une heure — un événement gratuit pour échanger le screen time contre une heure de lecture collective face à la Tour Eiffel. ​Considère ça comme une séance de sport pour ton cerveau… sans la transpiration. 😉 ​Imagine un instant : **300 personnes en train de lire ensemble**, face à l'un des monuments les plus emblématiques du monde, sans un téléphone en vue. ​Le **29 août**, nous lançons un défi à Paris : faire une pause dans le défilement infini des écrans et se retrouver pour une Reading Rave Offline avec une vue imprenable sur la Tour Eiffel. ​Un juillet, plus de **150 lecteurs et lectrices** se sont retrouvés et ensemble, ils ont lu en silence\* au coucher du soleil avant de prolonger la soirée autour de belles conversations. C'était magique. ​\*Nous lirons dans un espace public. Il pourra donc y avoir des voix, du vent, des passants… et c'est aussi ce qui rend l'expérience si particulière. *** ## ​À quoi t'attendre ​⏰ Une heure de lecture silencieuse (mais collective !) aux côtés de centaines d'autres personnes. ​📵 Téléphones éteints et rangés pendant toute la durée de l'événement. ​💬 Après la lecture, reste avec nous pour rencontrer d'autres lecteurs et lectrices. Nous prévoyons quelques questions autour des livres pour faciliter les échanges. *** ## ​Où & quand ? ​📍 Les Allées du Trocadéro (Avenue Gustave V de Suède), face à la Tour Eiffel. ​🗓 **Samedi 29 août**, de **20h00 à 21h30**. ​Merci d'arriver **avant 20h20**, afin que nous puissions commencer la lecture tous ensemble à 20h30 précises. ​🎟 **L'événement est gratuit, mais l'inscription est obligatoire.** ​*En cas de pluie ou de mauvaises conditions météorologiques, nous pourrons être amenés à reporter ou annuler le rassemblement.* ![User Uploaded Image](https://images.lumacdn.com/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,fit=cover,dpr=2,quality=75,width=800,height=549.2822966507177/uploads/3j/3db114fe-ffb0-461c-a9a4-30ce2bb944b3.jpg) ## ​Quoi apporter ? ​📖 Un livre, une BD, un recueil de poésie… ou tout autre support de lecture. ​🧺 Une couverture, un coussin, un siège pliant ou tout ce qui te permettra de t'installer confortablement. ​🥤 De quoi boire, grignoter et de la crème solaire si le soleil est au rendez-vous. ​👯 Invite tes amis, ton club de lecture ou toute personne qui aimerait vivre une heure complètement hors ligne. *** ​Nous avons hâte d'échanger le screen time contre du real time avec toi. ​Offline hugs, ​Stefania ​The Offline Club Paris 💛 *** # ​​🇬🇧 **English version** 🇬🇧 *** ​**Let's flood Trocadero with hundreds of readers for our third 1-Hour Reading Rave - a free event to swap screen time for a calm hour of social reading. See it as a workout for your mind, without the sweaty part 😉.** *** ​Imagine this: 300 people reading together in front of the world's most iconic monuments, without a phone in sight. ​On August 29th, we're challenging Paris to take a break from scrolling and get together for an offline reading rave overlooking the Eiffel Tower. ​In July, we got together with 150+ readers to read silently*\** in the sunset, and connect with each other afterwards. It was a-ma-zing. *\*Please note we'll read in public and so, there might be sounds, voices, wind and more. Crazy right!?* ​**What to expect:** ⏰ 1 hour of laid-back (silent but social) reading, with hundreds of others 📵 Phones off and tucked away for the entire hangout (no-phone policy). 💬 Stay longer to meet and connect with fellow readers. We'll supply book-themed conversation starters. ​**Where & when:** 📍 **Les Allées du Trocadéro (Avenue Gustave V de Suède)**, facing the Eiffel Tower. 🗓 Saturday, August 29th, from 20:00-21:30. Please arrive before 20:20, as communal (silent) reading starts promptly at 20:30. 🎟 RSVP to claim your free ticket *\*In case of rain or bad weather, we'll have to either cancel or move the gathering to another date.* ![User Uploaded Image](https://images.lumacdn.com/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,fit=cover,dpr=2,quality=75,width=800,height=549.2822966507177/uploads/o7/718418be-8c70-4ab8-9fbf-f165db543267.jpg) ​**What to bring:** 📖 A book, poetry bundle, comic, or anything to read . 🫔 Your own pillow, blanket, fold-out chair, or anything else cozy to get comfy on. 🧺 Your own drinks, snacks, and sun screen! 👯 Invite friends, book worms, ravers, or your entire book club... Basically, people who'd kill you if they'd miss this *** ​**We can’t wait to swap screen time for real time with you.** *** ​**Offline hugs,** Stefania The Offline Club Paris ​— ​*📸 Thanks to 2026 Paris City Vision*
