❤️ Participating in the salon was such an enriching experience. And the best part about it was being able to spend time with John and Samuel.

Beautiful photos, beautiful music, and an inspiring video. Reminds me of our fantastic Attic writing group roundtable in Spain, https://lauramoreno.substack.com/, except minus the cava. The group started when the host put a playfully erudite classified ad into the local English magazine and I was the first to answer. Would love to join you in future. All the best and thank you so much for this!

Ah that's so cool! I love a classic classified as well. A bygone era. Thanks for tuning in Laura!

I really enjoyed it. It seems Salons and vintage seasons of reflection go together.

John's description of an in-person salon with a prescribed topic is precisely what we have been doing with The Curiosity Grotto here in Pennsylvania for a year and a half, the important distinction being that the food various attendees provide is delicious. (Yes, be jealous.) Good luck with your new roving format. I'm looking forward to following along. Chin chin!

Love to hear it. The Curiosity Grotto sounds like my kind of place. Tasty tapas in a buffet style? Now that's a way to bring some thinkers together.

What a wonderful evolution of The Paris Salon. I so very much enjoyed all those book discussions with John and Samuél, thinking differently about some of the literature I've read before and being introduced to new writers. And learning quite a lot about French culture--thank you for that. 🥂
