Offline Reading Party 📚 Valentine’s Edition 💛 | La Bonbonnière
​A celebration of bookish love
​📚 Join The Offline Club Paris at La Bonbonnière for a cosy Valentine’s Day Offline Reading Party. A gathering that celebrates one of the most beautiful kinds of love there is: the love of books.
​This is not an event just for couples.
And not an event just for solo people.
​It’s for anyone who has ever fallen in love with a story, a sentence, a character and wants to share that feeling, quietly and offline, with others who get it.
​Lock your phone away and step into a slow, gentle morning designed to recharge you.
​What to expect:
​📖 Peaceful, uninterrupted reading time
🤝 A chance to meet and connect with fellow book lovers
💬 Easy, natural conversations — no pressure, no small talk obligation
đź«– Warm community vibes in a welcoming space
📵 Time fully offline, leaving you calm, focused, and recharged
đź“š A book swap filled with intention and care
​🇫🇷 🇬🇧 French & English friendly — all our events are bilingual
​The program:
​10:00 – 10:20 | Arrive & settle in
10:20 – 11:20 | Offline reading time
11:20 – 12:20 | Connect with others + book swap
​12:20 – 12:30 | Goodbye and offline hugs (optional)
​Dive into your book
​This is your time to slow down and read without distractions.
​Bring your book, comic, poetry, or any kind of literature — all formats and genres are welcome.
​Connect
​After reading, you’re invited to chat and connect with others.
Share what you’re reading, exchange recommendations, or simply listen.
​We create spaces where talking to strangers feels natural — and silence is also perfectly okay.
​💌 A Valentine’s twist: the Book Swap
​Because this day is all about love, we’re adding a book swap to this edition.
​We invite you to bring one book you truly love —
not a book you didn’t like,
not a book you want to get rid of,
but a book you would gift to someone you care about.
​During the connection moment, you’ll have the option to offer your book to someone else and receive one in return.
A simple, human exchange — story for story.
​(Participation is optional, but encouraged 💛)
​About your phone: Your phone will rest in our “phone hotel,” and we’ll be its bodyguards. But just so you know, if it magically disappears, learns to fly, or mysteriously breaks, The Offline Club can’t be held responsible.
​​​Not quite ready to let it go? No worries — just switch it off and keep it tucked away, out of sight.
​​​Refunds? Sorry, no take-backs.
But! If you cancel at least 48 hours before the event, you can request a €9.50 voucher to use toward a future event.
​​We love and appreciate the venues that host our events! Please remember that your consumption gives the venues one more reason to love us back!
​We can’t wait to swap screen time for real time with you,
and celebrate love — the quiet, bookish kind.
​​​Offline hugs,
​​​Stefania, The Offline Club Paris
