Chaque année, le 2 février, c'est la Chandeleur : la fête des chandelles, autrement dit de la lumière. En France, on la célèbre en préparant des crêpes. Des œufs, de la farine, du lait, et le tour est joué ! Logique, car avec sa forme ronde et sa couleur dorée, la crêpe ressemble au soleil, cet astre qui nous éclaire. Every year on February 2nd, it's Candlemas: the festival of candles, or in other words, of light. In France, it's celebrated by making crêpes. Eggs, flour, milk, and that's all there is to it! It makes sense, because with its round shape and golden color, the crêpe resembles the sun, the celestial body that illuminates us. Le restaurant propose différentes crêpes salées ou sucrées. The restaurant propose some choices of crepes savoury and sweet crepes. Le village de Thiercelieux semble en apparence normal, mais chaque nuit certains villageois se transforment en loups-garous pour dévorer d'autres villageois. Chaque matin venu, les villageois découvrent une personne qui manque à l'appel et se réunissent pour tenter de démasquer les loups-garous se cachant parmi eux. The village of Thiercelieux appears normal on the surface, but every night some villagers transform into werewolves to devour others. Each morning, the villagers discover someone missing and gather to try and unmask the werewolves hiding among them. Le matériel de jeu est formé uniquement de cartes représentant chacune une identité au recto et une même illustration pour toutes les cartes au verso.

Il arrive parfois un moment où l’on sent que quelque chose a changé intérieurement et où l’on observe que sa vie, dans sa forme actuelle, n’est plus tout à fait en accord avec cet endroit là. Pas dans le sens d’une crise, mais plutôt comme un décalage lucide. L’impression que certaines manières de fonctionner, de choisir, d’organiser sa vie ne correspondent plus vraiment à qui l’on est devenu. Ce dîner est une invitation à se retrouver et à échanger librement autour de ces ressentis, mettre des mots sur ce que l’on traverse, partager des expériences et écouter comment cela résonne chez d’autres. Un moment pour : * se rencontrer en vrai, * prendre le temps d’échanger, * se sentir moins seul(e) à cet endroit. Je serai présente pour vous accueillir, poser parfois une question et laisser la conversation se déployer naturellement. Si cette thématique te parle et que tu as envie de partager un moment simple, profond et humain, tu es bienvenu(e). **Infos pratiques :** 📅 Date : jeudi 5 février 2026 🕰️ Horaire : réservation effectuée pour 19h30 📍 Lieu : Restaurant "Les Affranchis" - 14 Avenue de Daumesnil 75012 Paris 💵 Tarif : rencontre gratuite, dîner à la charge de chacun(e) ⚠️ Les places sont limitées (6 personnes) afin de préserver un cadre de proximité. Une réservation est effectuée pour le groupe. En cas d’empêchement, merci de me prévenir afin que la place puisse être proposée à quelqu’un d’autre. **Qui suis-je ?** Je suis Olivia Brijawi, accompagnante des passages de vie. J'ouvre des espaces pour celles et ceux qui sentent que quelque chose a changé en eux mais ne savent pas encore comment l'incarner. 👉 1:1 · Cercles, ateliers, rencontres · Guides & carnets introspectifs [www.olivia-brijawi.com](http://www.olivia-brijawi.com/)

Politics, culture, art, society, technology—whatever's relevant or interesting that week. **Practical details:** * Day/Time: Saturday mornings * Language: English * Format: Informal discussion and conversation * Topics: Chosen collectively each session **Community contribution:** To help cover Meetup and event costs, we ask for a €5 annual contribution to Gelato au Citron.

Bienvenue! Columbus French Conversation group invites you to our Saturday morning French conversation club. Expect a casual and welcoming atmosphere in which to learn french! I will bring my laptop so we can look up new vocabulary as needed! The venue is a beautiful French restaurant so you can really get into the zone :)

Hello everyone! For our first dinner together, we’re keeping things low-key and casual. Take a look at the menu and let us know what you think we want this to be easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone. Quick housekeeping note: many restaurants require most of the party to be present before seating. No-shows impact the entire group, so if someone repeatedly commits and doesn’t show more than once, we’ll have to remove you from future dinners to keep things fair and smooth for everyone. Looking forward to a great night and even better conversations 🍽️✨
