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 a native English speaker 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 take a short break at around 8:30, and that will be the perfect time to grab some charcuterie, cheese, or mixed board for 13âŹ.
Salut ! Nous souhaitons recréer l'atmosphÚre 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 ĂȘtes locuteur anglais natif, 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. AprĂšs 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 sera l'occasion de profiter des planches charcuterie, fromage ou mixte à 13⏠proposées par le café.

BOOKCLUB: My Life On The Road by Gloria Steinem
Let's get together with a drink and discuss this book.
Location to be confirmed soon :)
"Gloria Steinemâwriter, activist, organizer, and one of the most inspiring leaders in the worldânow tells a story she has never told before, a candid account of how her early years led her to live an on-the-road kind of life, traveling, listening to people, learning, and creating change. She reveals the story of her own growth in tandem with the growth of an ongoing movement for equality. This is the story at the heart of *My Life on the Road*."

Hello ! We hope everyoneâs doing good ! đ
We're back for a French & English language exchange event :
* Sunday at "Les Berthom" : 35 Boulevard Voltaire, 75011 Paris, starting at 6:00PM. For a 10⏠fee.
Close to the Metro station République (Métro 3, 5, 8, 9 & 11) and Oberkampf (Métro 5 & 9).
A drink will be offered from the Bar's Menu !đ»
Weâll start the check-in at 5:50PM.
The concept of the event is :
* The whole event lasts 2 hours, subdivided in 4 sessions of 30 minutes. In each session, tables of 4 to 8 persons will be formed equally between foreigners and French (2/3 Foreigners and 2/3 French). 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, weâll switch the tables and youâll be placed on a new table with new persons (Hence, youâll 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 ! These events are intended to be speed-datings, which is important to be precise and we plan to be strict about this point. ^^
We hope to see you soon !

* **Les Hauts de Hurlevent :** Un récit poignant sur la passion, la vengeance et la différence. Environ 400 pages d'une intensité rare.
* **Note :** Câest en voyant passer les images des films rĂ©cents que jâai eu lâenvie de revisiter ce monument avec vous. Câest lâoccasion parfaite de se replonger dans le texte original pour comprendre pourquoi il a tant bousculĂ© la morale de son Ă©poque.
Nous pourrons en discuter de vive voix le samedi 28 autour de notre thĂ© ou cafĂ© ! âšđ”

Bad Girls Book Club March 2026
**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.**
**This monthâs novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores womenâs voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.**
Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isnât just any thirteen-year-old: sheâs the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the regionâs residents. And this isnât the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbaraâs older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.
As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Mooreâs multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Mooreâs most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.

Book summary:
Adunni is a fourteen-year-old Nigerian girl who knows what she wants: an education. This, her mother has told her, is the only way to get a "louding voice" -- the ability to speak for herself and decide her own future. But instead, Adunni's father sells her to be the third wife of a local man who is eager for her to bear him a son and heir. When Adunni runs away to the city, hoping to make a better life, she finds that the only other option before her is servitude to a wealthy family. As a yielding daughter, a subservient wife, and a powerless slave, Adunni is told, by words and deeds, that she is nothing. But while misfortunes might muffle her voice for a time, they cannot mute it. And when she realizes that she must stand up not only for herself, but for other girls, for the ones who came before her and were lost, and for the next girls, who will inevitably follow, she finds the resolve to speak, however she can--in a whisper, in song, in broken English--until she is heard

Book description:
Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely. She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium.
This should have been the end of her story . . . Yet one day, Terlu wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. Sheâs starving and freezing, and the only other human on the island is a grumpy gardener. To her surprise, he offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes, and freshly baked honey cakesâat least until sheâs ready to sail home.
But Terlu canât return home and doesnât want toâthe greenhouses are a dream come true, each more wondrous than the next. When she learns that the magic that sustains them is failingâcausing the death of everything within themâTerlu knows she must help. Even if that means breaking the law again.
This time, though, she isnât alone. Assisted by the gardener and a sentient rose, Terlu must unravel the secrets of a long-dead sorcerer if she wants to save the islandâand have a fresh chance at happiness and love.
