Ever since the first Parisian cafés opened in the 1600s, they have been the place where the city’s aristocrats, artists, flâneurs, philosophers and students have met to gossip, fall in love and foment political and artistic revolutions. In this new series from Curious Minds favourite Lisa Pasold (Rebel Paris, Inventing Modern Paris), we’ll take a thrilling journey through the history of these vibrant meeting places and discuss how the Parisian café became a glittering spectacle. From radical philosopher Voltaire to Revolutionary politician Robespierre, from Americans like Ernest Hemingway in the 1920s and James Baldwin in the 1950s to Algerian-Parisian writer Leïla Sebbar in the 1980s, we’ll meet the famous denizens of these cultural hotbeds and examine how café culture helped created the city we know and love today.

Led by Lisa Pasold, a Governor General’s Award-nominated writer, journalist (The Globe and Mail, Chicago Tribune) and television host of Discovery World’s Paris Next Stop.

Course registration: $69 (Hot Docs Members: $60, $48, Free)
