Sylvie Giovannetti explains how ancient Egyptian doctors examined patients, used plants and combined treatment with ritual. Entry is free and open to ages 16+, and a small library talk makes asking questions easy.
A friendly reading club where members are first in line for the library's new books, share what they have been reading and, as the organisers put it, laugh and make new friends. It is free for ages 16 and up, with sign-up requested.
A free conversation workshop for anyone who wants to feel more at ease speaking French, covering everyday topics from food and customs to travel and hobbies. No booking is needed (from age 16). Small conversation groups are ideal for meeting people when you're new in town.
The «papoterie créative» of the Renaud-Barrault library in Avignon is a chatty craft session where everyone tries a new technique and goes home with their piece. On Halloween day the theme is Mexico's Día de los Muertos: you make ex-voto hearts, the bright tin-and-paper offerings of Mexican folk art. Free, from age 12, with registration by phone or through the library. «La papoterie créative» Starts 15:00, ends about 17:00. Source: OpenAgenda — Avignon Bibliothèques (open data).

Almost all of them. The 4 upcoming programs on this page are public library events in Avignon; most need no booking and no library card. Workshops with limited places say so on the official page.
Yes. Most people at library book clubs, talks and language cafés come alone, there is a host who starts the conversation, and nobody asks why you are there. Arrive a few minutes early.
Usually it is free: bring photo ID and a proof of address (a rental contract or a utility bill) to any branch. Rules differ per library, so check the branch page before you go.
