Café de la Mairie (Paris 3rd)
About
On Sunday, December 6, 2026, the Café de la Mairie in the 3rd arrondissement hosts a unique gathering centered on the theme of 'The House'. Moving away from traditional philosophical debates, this session invites adults to share personal memories and associations related to the topic in a relaxed, café setting. The event runs from 10:00 to 12:00 and is open to participants aged 18 and over. The venue is fully accessible to wheelchair users and provides specific support for blind or visually impaired individuals, ensuring an inclusive environment where every voice is heard equally without the pressure of formal storytelling.
Set in a café to remove any intimidation, everyone is invited to freely share memories, feelings, and associations of ideas around a folktale theme, without ever seeking to tell a story in the strict sense.
TODAY'S TOPIC: THE HOUSE
Unlike a philosophy café, the discussion is not dialectical: there are no theses or contradictions, only testimonies that juxtapose and enrich each other, like watercolors shading the same light. The founding principle is to erase the boundary between "experts" and "non-experts": professional storytellers, researchers, and novices all receive the same attention, as everyone carries within them, often unknowingly, the imprint of the tales that have shaped them.
Our take on this event
Join us at the Café de la Mairie, located at 51 rue de Bretagne, for a morning of meaningful conversation. On December 6, 2026, from 10:00 to 12:00, you are invited to explore the concept of 'home' through shared experiences and spontaneous ideas. This is not a place for scripted tales, but rather a space where memories and emotions are expressed freely.
Unlike standard debate groups, this meeting avoids dialectical confrontation. There are no arguments to be won; instead, personal testimonies coexist, enriching each other like layers of watercolor. The core philosophy is to remove barriers between professionals and newcomers, as everyone carries the imprint of the stories that have shaped them.
Participation is priced at 15€ per person. The venue is designed to be inclusive, offering full access for wheelchair users and accommodations for blind or visually impaired guests.
