Caf'contes - THE COMPANIONS

Trade the daily hustle for an intimate exchange where stories and personal memories about companionship converge naturally. Forget structured debates; this is a space where individual reflections blend together like watercolor, inviting everyone from novices to experts to share their inner tapestry. It is an honest, low-pressure way to rediscover the legends that have shaped your own path.

Café de la Mairie (Paris 3rd)

About

Settled in a cafe to defuse any intimidation, everyone is invited to freely share memories, feelings, and associations of ideas around a tale theme, without ever trying to tell a story per se.

TOPIC OF THE DAY: THE COMPANIONS

Unlike a philosophy cafe, the speech here is not dialectical: there are no theses or contradictions, only testimonies that juxtapose and enrich each other, like watercolor strokes shading the same light. The founding principle is to erase the border between "experts" and "non-experts": professional storytellers, researchers, and novices all receive the same listening, because everyone carries within them, often without knowing it, the imprint of the tales that shaped them.
