Oum Pa Pa ! Opus 2, accordion quartet, Ferme de Bel Ebat

La Ferme de Bel Ebat

On Tuesday 15 December 2026 at 20:30 La Ferme de Bel Ebat in Guyancourt presents Oum Pa Pa ! Opus 2, a show the listing describes as a dazzling meeting between the most popular of instruments and classical music, full of humour and poetry. It is carried by a bold women's quartet in which the accordion dreams of opera in surprising scenes. The listing calls it a dream recital where Bizet rubs shoulders with Yann Tiersen and Tchaikovsky meets Piazzolla. The four musicians come from the major national conservatoires, and their high-level technique serves rich, warm and tender scores. They add a cheerful fantasy with precise choreography, moving between tango, opera airs and Russian ballets. It is billed as classical music to enjoy with a smile. The event is in partnership with the CCAS. Tickets cost 25, 18.50 or 12.50 euros, bookable online, and the show runs from 20:30 to 21:30. A concert like this is easy to enjoy alone, since the audience is there for the same music. «Un récital de rêve, où Bizet côtoie Yann Tiersen et Tchaikovsky tutoie Piazzolla.» Starts 20:30, ends about 21:30. Source: OpenAgenda — Scènes 2 Guyancourt la Batterie – Ferme de Bel Ebat (open data). The listing gives prices of 25, 18.50 and 12.50 euros and the hours as 20:30 to 21:30, booked online.

Victor Hugoat comic rap show, Ferme de Bel Ébat, Guyancourt

La Ferme de Bel Ebat

On Tuesday 20 April La Ferme de Bel Ébat in Guyancourt presents Victor Hugoat, a show that mixes a humorous lecture, rap and a gallery of characters. The premise is that the performer, called Bart, has two passions in life, Victor Hugo and rap, and suddenly realises that if Hugo had lived today he would have been the best rapper of all. To prove it he builds a biographical rap song verse by verse, telling the life of the writer. With the audience, he recreates the battle of Hernani, mourns the death of Hugo's daughter, thrills at his political speeches and even talks with the master himself. The show is part of the Hip-Hop week, which runs from 20 to 24 April, and of a touring programme. The listing is in French and the ticket costs 7.50 euros. It starts at 20:30 and ends about 21:30. «VICTOR HUGOAT» Starts 20:30, ends about 21:30. Source: OpenAgenda — Scènes 2 Guyancourt la Batterie – Ferme de Bel Ebat (open data).

Tiwayo and Robin McKelle, soul and jazz, La Batterie, Guyancourt

La Batterie Grande Salle

On Saturday 5 December 2026 at 20:30 the large hall of La Batterie in Guyancourt hosts a double bill of soul and jazz with Tiwayo and Robin McKelle. The listing describes two powerful, deeply felt voices meeting for an exceptional evening. Tiwayo is presented as a nomadic artist with a deep, raw voice who returns with the album Outsider, a sincere record shaped by blues, gospel and American soul. Robin McKelle is described as celebrating the legacy of Ella Fitzgerald with elegance, intensity and a very personal interpretation. Together they share the stage in a lively musical dialogue, with warm grooves and strong emotions, in two different but complementary worlds that answer each other naturally and generously. Prices are 25, 18 and 12.50 euros, bought through the online ticket office, and the concert is scheduled to end at 21:30. A shared concert like this is easy to enjoy alone, since the music gives everyone something to talk about afterwards. «Deux voix puissantes et habitées se réunissent pour une soirée exceptionnelle où la soul, le jazz et l’émotion se rencontrent.» Starts 20:30, ends about 21:30.

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.
