Poésie Zéro and King Kong Meuf, punk night, Hérouville-Saint-Clair

Big Band Café

On Friday 11 December 2026 at 20:00 the Big Band Café in Hérouville-Saint-Clair, by Caen, hosts a punk night with Poésie Zéro and King Kong Meuf. The listing describes Poésie Zéro as a very angry, and stupid, punk act accompanied by two almost-musician volunteer employees who are close to being fired at every concert. The group has released ten albums more or less blue, a pile of clips more or less broadcast, and works to spread the International Federation of Poésie Zéro across the earth so that there are Poésie Zéro in every city and they can stop giving concerts for good. King Kong Meuf is described as an enormous explosion from Montreuil, with powerful titles that sound like cries of fury. The listed times are 20:00 to 23:30. Tickets start at 20.04 euros. A loud, funny punk bill in a cafe-concert is easy to join alone, since the crowd is friendly and the bar is close. «C'est un Punk très en colère, (et stupide).» Starts 20:00, ends about 23:30. Source: OpenAgenda — Shotgun (open data). The listing gives 23:30 as the end.

Dune: Part Three preview, Café des images, Hérouville-Saint-Clair

Café des images

On Tuesday 15 December 2026 at 19:30 the Café des images in Hérouville-Saint-Clair, at 4 square du théâtre, shows Dune: Troisième partie by Denis Villeneuve in a preview screening. The listing says the film is the third instalment of the director's ambitious project, adapting Frank Herbert's cult science-fiction novel that was long considered unfilmable. It calls the result dazzling, a futuristic tragedy with a very successful aesthetic, built on whispers, inner voices, levitating bodies and silent betrayals rather than loud blockbuster spectacle. It also recalls the director's earlier films Premier contact and Blade Runner 2049. The screening runs from 19:30 to 22:01, and tickets are reserved through an online booking link given in the listing. The listing does not state a price. A film screening is easy to attend alone, since people sit in the dark facing the same screen. «Au Café des images, découvrez en avant-première le troisième volet de l'ambitieux projet du réalisateur Denis Villeneuve.» Starts 19:30, ends about 22:01. Source: OpenAgenda — Café des images (open data). The listing gives the screening as 19:30 to 22:01 and links to an online booking page, without stating a price.

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
