Join us at the Saint-Eloi library for a special storytelling morning on Saturday, December 12, 2026. From 11:00 to 11:45, our librarians will gather under the 'Arbre à contes' to present a selection of stories tailored for children between the ages of 4 and 8. The session is unique in that it features bilingual narration, delivered simultaneously in spoken French and French Sign Language.

Ensuring an inclusive experience is a priority. The venue is fully accessible to wheelchair users and is well-equipped to welcome individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, blind or visually impaired, or those with cognitive disabilities. By removing barriers, we ensure that every child can engage with the stories and participate fully in this shared cultural experience in the 12th arrondissement.

While this event is free, spots are limited. Registration is required and will be available starting November 12. Be sure to book early to secure a place for your child to enjoy this creative and sensory-rich morning of tales.
