Hi! It's Stefania, community leader of Paris's Offline Club.

We're a community of warm, kind, and open-minded people passionate about creating genuine connections in a world filled with screens and digital distractions.
‍
We come together for unique offline experiences that help us slow down, have fun, and reconnect - with ourselves and with others. Whether it’s quiet time to reflect and relax, creative activities to spark joy, or meaningful conversations with like-minded people, our hangouts are designed to bring authenticity back to your life.

    đŸ‡«đŸ‡· Description française (English version below 👇)
    ​💛 Hello les membres de la communautĂ©,
    ​Nous vous invitons Ă  vivre une expĂ©rience intime et crĂ©ative avec nous. Cette Ă©dition est nĂ©e d'une idĂ©e de Fern, l'une de nos bĂ©nĂ©voles et on a tout de suite su qu'on devait la faire.

    ​Cet Ă©vĂ©nement est rĂ©servĂ© exclusivement aux membres de notre communautĂ© et fonctionne sur la base de dons.

    ​Un aprĂšs-midi douillet au Bistrot de My Little Paris, notre maison, notre espace Ă  nous, pour ralentir, crĂ©er et se regarder vraiment.
    ​Et si, pour une fois, on prenait le temps de vraiment se regarder ?
    ​Pas de tĂ©lĂ©phones, pas de distractions. Juste toi, un crayon, et la personne en face de toi.

    ***

    ## ​Le concept

    ​Par rounds de 20 minutes, tu dessines le portrait de quelqu'un que tu ne connais pas encore et lui/elle dessine le tien. Puis viennent 20 minutes de Real Life Chat : une conversation vraie, face à face, avec la personne que tu viens de croquer sur le papier. Ensuite, on change de partenaire et on recommence.
    ​C'est une façon unique de se rencontrer, en silence, par le regard, par le geste. Tu dĂ©couvres les autres Ă  travers tes yeux, et tu te dĂ©couvres toi-mĂȘme Ă  travers les leurs.
    ​Pas besoin de savoir dessiner. Ce qui compte, c'est l'attention que tu portes à l'autre.

    ​💛 Hello Community Members,
    ​We’re inviting you to join us for an intimate and creative experience. This edition was born from an idea by Fern, one of our volunteers, and we knew right away that we had to make it happen.

    ​A cozy afternoon at Bistrot de My Little Paris, our home, our own little space, to slow down, create, and truly see one another.
    ​What if, just for once, we took the time to really look at each other?
    ​No phones, no distractions. Just you, a pencil, and the person sitting across from you.

    ***

    ## ​The Concept

    ​In 20-minute rounds, you’ll draw the portrait of someone you haven’t met yet, while they draw yours. Then comes 20 minutes of Real Life Chat: a real, face-to-face conversation with the person you just sketched on paper. Then you switch partners and start again.
    ​It’s a unique way to meet one another — through silence, through looking, through the simple act of drawing. You discover others through your own eyes, and discover yourself through theirs.
    ​You don’t need to know how to draw. What matters is the attention you give to the other person.
