About this event

New participants: Please include your first name when you RSVP!Imagine a space in Paris where Indian coffee, literature, and creativity all come together. A place where the quiet hum of conversation and the rustle of turning pages echo the spirit of Café de Flore, but with a soul rooted in the languages, stories, and rhythms of India. Araku Café, tucked away in the 12th district of Paris, with its biodynamic, direct-trade coffee and warm interiors, offers a rare cultural bridge, from the lush hills of eastern India to the literary streets of Paris. It's more than a café. It’s a creative refuge, a space to linger over ideas, to share perspectives, and to connect through literature, language, and craft coffee.We’re building something slowly, intentionally. A literary and artistic home for Indian voices in Paris open to all readers, writers, thinkers, translators, and wanderers. Whether you're writing your first poem or your tenth novel, or simply reading in translation, you are invited to be part of a new creative current in the city. Bring a poem, novel, short story, or essay. Bring something to read, or just come to listen and discover! Bring a work-in-progress, a translation you love or a story you're still shaping. Whether you're exploring the Indian literary canon, contemporary diaspora voices, or your own creative project, this is your space.It is a free event and RSVPing is as simple as clicking the "attend" button on this link! On the day of the event, just ask the barista to direct you to the literary space reserved for ille_paris.Agenda14:00 - 14:30: New member introductions + reading/writing updates from the old members14:30 - 15:30: Distraction free silent reading/writing15:30 - 16:00: DiscussionsDiscover Araku coffeeIt is not obligatory to do so, but we highly recommend that you treat yourself with a cup of Araku coffee to enjoy during the event. Araku is the first Indian specialty coffee boutique to open in Europe. They bring direct‑trade, biodynamic Arabica coffee beans from the tribal farmers of India’s Araku Valley and roast the beans locally in Paris. They source from over 10,000 Adivasi farmers across 520 villages and cultivate a biodynamic agroforestry system on the Eastern Ghats, ensuring organic, ethically-traded coffee that celebrates both flavour and farmer empowerment. In their Parisian café, you’ll find six distinct Arabica crus (Signature, Sélection, Grande Réserve, Haute Altitude, Micro Climat, Première Récolte), each roasted to bring out notes of fruit, caramel, spice, chocolate, or honey. Their coffee beans have won the Gold medal at the Prix Epicures 2018 and each cup of coffee is brewed by a highly trained barista with special care.
