The Paris Salons offer intensive, dynamic discussions centred on a single work (or two short stories) that readers prepare in advance with critical support and resources. Upon receipt of payment, you will receive notes and introductory materials including the Salon location. Salons are hosted in participant homes and include the pleasure of a pot-luck meal along with the rich company of other authentic readers.To register, please visit the Event page linked to the listing or accessible from the home page.

Previous Salon feedback
“Thank you, once again, for a stimulating, interesting, and just plain fun book salon on Saturday! I really enjoyed it. It reminds me how important it is to have an English language literary conversation in my life again… Oddly enough, it makes me feel more integrated in France!”…
“Once again what a great session that was, and a difficult and demanding one. I think we really managed to do justice to The Aeneid even in that short space of time…and it was so great being AWAY, out of Paris, in a spacious house with the fire at night and the rooms full of light and sun the next morning. A lovely experience…” “I came away my mind still full of the reading…”
