Arpentage littéraire, collective reading, at Totems, Pacé

Totems

On Friday 27 November 2026 at 10:00 Totems in Pacé holds an Arpentage littéraire, a workshop on collective reading built around the book Quand la beauté nous sauve by Charles Pépin. The listing presents it as part of the Semaine des Arts and invites people to discover and try out this shared way of reading. It is organised in partnership with the association Agence Sensible and is described as being for an adult public. Participation is free, but registration is required, so a place has to be reserved beforehand. The session runs from 10:00 to 12:30 at Totems, 12 Chemin de la Métairie in Pacé. A group reading workshop like this is easy to join alone, since the whole point is to read and talk with other participants who have come to try the same method. «Découverte de la lecture collective autour du livre "Quand la beauté nous sauve" de Charles Pépin» Starts 10:00, ends about 12:30.

Voyage littéraire en Irlande, writing workshop at Totems, Pacé

Totems

On Thursday 3 December 2026 at 19:30 Totems in Pacé hosts Voyage littéraire en Irlande, an Irish-inspired writing workshop run by the town of Pacé. The listing invites participants to let themselves be carried away by the imagination of Ireland while picking up a pen to write a few lines in the manner of Irish authors. It states that the workshop is for an adult audience and that registration is required. No writing experience is mentioned in the listing, and the activity is built around short pieces of writing rather than a lecture. The workshop is free of charge. The listing gives the start time as 19:30 on Thursday 3 December and does not state an end time, so the session is expected to last about two hours. A writing workshop like this is easy to attend alone, since everyone works on their own text and the group is there to share the same exercise and the same evening. «Atelier d'écriture d'inspiration irlandaise Venez participer à un atelier d'écriture d'inspiration irlandaise.» Starts 19:30, ends about 21:30.

Art history talk on Mary Cassatt, MJC Pacé, near Rennes

MJC Pacé - Espace Le Goffic

On Thursday 11 March the MJC community arts centre in Pacé, a town just west of Rennes, hosts an afternoon lecture by Géraldine Guérin titled An American Impressionist in Paris: Mary Cassatt. The talk explains how Cassatt, who called herself American through and through, anchored her art in the painting tradition of the old masters she studied on her travels in Europe before becoming a central figure of the Impressionist movement in France, where she lived for six decades. Her portrayals of elegant young women receiving guests, at home or at the theatre, are counted among the artist's most remarkable work. The listing links to a Musée d'Orsay exhibition on Cassatt that runs until February 2027. Tickets cost 5 euros, or 3 euros reduced, and the talk is in French. It starts at 15:00 and ends about 16:30. «Une impressionniste américaine à Paris : Mary Cassatt» Starts 15:00, ends about 16:30. Source: OpenAgenda — MJC Pacé (open data).

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.
