Gelato au Citron (formerly Coffee and the Paper)

Looking for fun, thought-provoking chats?
Join us for lively discussions on everything from current events and pop culture to arts, literature, and the random wonders of life. No doom and gloom here (OK, maybe a little, sometimes)—just open minds, laughter, and maybe a bit of self-deprecating humor.

We’ll explore where the world’s headed, toss around some scandalous headlines 🔥, share thoughts on the latest films, or even debate if the new season of your favorite TV show really nails it this season.

Whatever’s on your mind—let’s dive in! And no, we are not meeting to read an actual paper, we are chatting through what is topical these days!

Bonus: I also run a cultural newsletter where I do deep dives into French and Italian culture, digital undercurrents, and hand-pick local news and events. Join in! https://gelatoaucitron.substack.com/

The Format: Super chill but a little structured. You can propose a topic ahead of time or on the spot, and we’ll vote on what to dive into for the day. Think of it as a conversation, not a debate—open, accepting, and never too serious!

Let’s keep it fun, meet new people, and maybe sharpen that critical thinking a bit while we’re at it. Whether you’re new to Paris or a seasoned local, this is the perfect space to stay current and exchange perspectives.

Get in touch: probably the best way is on Instagram right now (my name) as I always lose messages on here.

See you soon! 😊

Any other Substackers out there?

I’m still fairly new on Substack, and thought it’d be great to get together face-to-face with others in the same boat! Let’s meet up for a casual Christmas brunch to start building a local Substack community in Paris.

Whether you’re interested in collaboration, want to bounce around ideas, or just want to connect with others navigating the writing life on Substack, come along. I'd love this to become perhaps a quarterly event? ...A regular space to share what we’re working on, swap tips, and create a supportive network. 💖
