Literary and musical nap session at an Avignon library

Bibliothèque Paul & Alice Cluchier

On Thursday 3 December 2026 at 13:30 the Paul and Alice Cluchier library in Avignon, set in the Parc de la Cantonne, invites you to a Sieste littéraire et musicale. You settle comfortably and let yourself be carried by themed readings, interspersed with extracts of music. It lasts about an hour and a half in the middle of the afternoon, and nothing is asked of you except to listen. The listing says entry is free but you must register, using the contact details on the Avignon libraries website. A quiet session like this is an easy outing alone: you do not need to talk to anyone, you just arrive, get comfortable and enjoy the words and the music, and you can chat afterwards with other listeners if you feel like it. «Confortablement installés, laissez-vous porter par des lectures thématiques entrecoupées d'extraits musicaux» Starts 13:30, ends about 15:00.

Book Club at Avignon's Bibliothèque du Puzzle

Bibliothèque du Puzzle

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.

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.
