Apéro writing workshop on friendship, La Mûrisserie, Marseille

La Mûrisserie - Bistrot

On Wednesday 28 October the bistro La Mûrisserie on Cours Julien in Marseille hosts Apéropistolaire, a giant writing workshop built around an aperitif, this time on the theme of unleashed friendships. Guests arrive from 18:30 with a pen, a notebook and friends, grab a drink, and from 19:00 take part in two hours of writing games that need no previous experience. At 21:00 an open stage invites volunteers to read, and a participatory exhibition called Amitiés suspendues lets people hang their texts and read other people's answers until 8 November. Bring something to write on and an object that symbolises friendship. The bar and food are available at friendly prices. The listing shows the event as free, with a pay-what-you-wish contribution at the door, and the language is French. It ends about 23:00. «APÉROPISTOLAIRE : AMITIÉS DÉBRIDÉES» Starts 19:00, ends about 23:00. Source: OpenAgenda — Shotgun (open data).

Beginner role-playing one-shot at Bibliothèque du Panier, Marseille

Bibliothèque du Panier

On Thursday 19 November 2026 the Bibliothèque du Panier in Marseille runs an introduction to role-playing games, described in the listing as the best-known tabletop game, the one with dungeons and dragons in it. The session is an original one-shot, which means a single self-contained adventure played in one sitting, so nobody needs to have played before and nobody has to come back next week. The listing is brief and does not give the number of places, the age range or whether booking is required, so it is worth asking the library before you go. The page is in French. A beginners' table is a very friendly way to meet people alone: the game is built on everyone taking turns and helping each other out of trouble, and a guide leads the story so you can simply join in. The session starts at 18:00 and the end time is estimated. «Initiation au Jeu de Rôle : One Shot original» Starts 18:00, ends about 20:30.

Café-Philo on Freedom at the Alcazar Library

Bibliothèque de l'Alcazar

Over coffee, participants philosophise together on a theme that changes each session; this time it is freedom — does free will exist, or is everything determined? It is an open discussion where you can speak up or just listen, which makes it a good way to meet curious people on your own. The listing does not mention a fee.

Bibliothèque de l'Alcazar

In these free photography evenings created and moderated by artist Florine Thiebaud, two invited women photographers based in or linked to Marseille present their work, influences and creative process.

Board Game Afternoon at Salim-Hatubou Library

Médiathèque Salim-Hatubou

The Salim-Hatubou library in northern Marseille brings out a selection of board games for a convivial afternoon of play, open to everyone. Drop in any time between two and five and join a table. The library gives a phone number for information, and sharing a game is an easy icebreaker during the school holidays.
