📚 Join The Offline Club at La Bonbonnière for our Xmas Offline Reading Party × Live Ukulele Special Edition. 🎄
Inspired by the Icelandic tradition of Jólabókaflóð — the “Christmas Book Flood,” where families exchange books on Christmas Eve and spend the night reading together — we’ll gather on the morning of December 24th for our own twist on that cosy ritual: gentle ukulele melodies, pages turning, and festive calm.
Lock your phone away and immerse yourself in a morning designed to recharge you and celebrate Christmas differently.
This reading party is your chance to disconnect from screens, unwind from the daily buzz, and meet like-minded people.
It’s a little escape into another world — where time slows down, people connect with intention, and you can truly focus on yourself.
✨ The perfect Christmas Eve for book lovers.

What to expect:
📖 Peaceful (me-)time to read that book you’ve been meaning to start (or finish!)
🎸 Christmas melodies on ukulele to accompany your reading — intimate, soothing, and made for this moment.
🤝 The chance to meet and connect with like-minded (wannabe) booklovers
💬 A space where connection comes easily — no rush, no pressure, no notifications
🫖 Community vibes, a welcoming Xmas atmosphere, and plenty of time to relax
📵 Valuable time offline that leaves you feeling rested and fulfilled
🇫🇷 🇬🇧 French & English friendly — all our events are bilingual, so you can comfortably speak either language

Dive into your book
This is your time to sit back and enjoy undistracted reading time.
Remember to bring your own book, comic, or poetry bundle — we love all literature.
***
Connect with others
Chat & connect with others, but only if you feel like it. Meet new people, share stories about your favourite reads, and enjoy meaningful conversations. We create laid-back spaces where talking to strangers is the norm and connection is made easy.
***
About your phone: Your phone will rest in our “phone hotel,” and we’ll be its bodyguards. But just so you know, if it magically disappears, learns to fly, or mysteriously breaks, The Offline Club can’t be held responsible.
Not quite ready to let it go? No worries — just switch it off and keep it tucked away, out of sight.
***
Refunds? Sorry, no take-backs.
But! If you cancel at least 48 hours before the event, you can request a €12.50 voucher to use toward a future event.

We love and appreciate the venues that host our events! Please remember that your consumption gives the venues one more reason to love us back!

We can’t wait to swap screen time for real time with you.
