POETRY

we read from the riverbanks during the previous edition of Poésie en Ville. So we don’t know if it will save the world, but in these times of coronavirus, we want to believe that the Bains des Pâquis can be a place of resistance, a place of thought, a place of re-invention.

Les Bains offers readings by living writers two or three times a month, on Saturdays from 11:00 to 11:30 am.

They also organize the biennial Poésie en Ville event.
