Walk & Talk Paris — Balade & Rencontres

Sun, Oct 18, 12:00 PM
From WALK AND TALK PARIS

**WALK & TALK PARIS** **Marcher. Rencontrer. Échanger. Découvrir Paris.** **Walk & Talk**, c’est 1h30 pour sortir de sa routine, rencontrer de nouvelles personnes et partager de vraies conversations… tout simplement en marchant dans Paris. Pas de networking forcé, pas de pression et pas besoin de venir accompagné(e). L’idée est simple : créer un moment **convivial, spontané et bienveillant**, où chacun peut faire de nouvelles rencontres tout en redécouvrant Paris à pied. 👥 **30 participants maximum** ⏱️ **Durée : 1h30** 📍 **Rendez-vous : devant Starbucks — 2 rue de la Pépinière, Paris, face à la Gare Saint-Lazare** **COMMENT ÇA MARCHE ?** 👋 **15 min — On fait connaissance** On se retrouve au point de rendez-vous, on accueille tout le monde et on explique rapidement le fonctionnement du Walk & Talk. Puis vient le premier tirage au sort : chacun découvre la personne avec qui il commencera la balade. **30 personnes = 15 binômes.** 🚶 **1h — Walk & Talk** La balade commence ! Pendant une heure, tu vas échanger avec **3 personnes différentes**, avec un nouveau tirage au sort toutes les 20 minutes. **20 min → Binôme #1** On marche, on échange et on fait connaissance. 🔀 **Nouveau tirage au sort** **20 min → Binôme #2** Nouvelle personne, nouvelle conversation. 🔀 **Nouveau tirage au sort** **20 min → Binôme #3** Une dernière rencontre pour terminer la balade. À chaque échange, des petites **questions ice-breakers** seront proposées pour lancer naturellement la conversation. Pas d’interview et pas de réponses parfaites à trouver : les questions sont simplement là pour casser la glace et laisser la discussion aller là où elle veut. 😊 🎉 **15 min — ON SE RETROUVE TOUS** Après les trois Walk & Talk de 20 minutes, on termine tous ensemble. Plus de binômes, plus de tirage au sort : **tout le monde se mélange.** C’est le moment de retrouver quelqu’un rencontré pendant la balade, de continuer une conversation, d’échanger ses contacts ou simplement de discuter avec de nouvelles personnes avant de se quitter. **L’ESPRIT WALK & TALK** 🤍 Ici, tout le monde vient avec la même intention : **rencontrer, découvrir et échanger.** Tu peux venir seul(e). Tu peux être extraverti(e), réservé(e), nouveau à Paris ou Parisien(ne) depuis toujours. Le seul vrai prérequis : venir avec **curiosité, ouverture et bienveillance**. Pas besoin d’être doué pour le small talk. On marche, on discute… et on voit où la conversation nous mène. **1 balade • 3 binômes • 3 conversations • plein de rencontres** **30 places maximum.** 📍 **Départ : Starbucks, 2 rue de la Pépinière — face à la Gare Saint-Lazare, Paris** **À très vite pour marcher, parler et rencontrer Paris autrement.**

Frequently asked questions

Foraging walks are guided tours where participants learn about edible plants, mushrooms, and herbs in their natural habitats. In Paris, these walks offer a unique way to connect with nature, discover local flora, and gain practical knowledge about sustainable foraging.

A foraging walk in Paris provides a unique way to explore the city's natural beauty while gaining insight into edible plants and sustainability practices. It's also an opportunity to meet like-minded people and engage in a tranquil retreat from urban life.

To RSVP for a foraging walk in Paris, simply find the event on Meetup, and click the 'RSVP' button. This will let the organizers know you intend to participate and help them prepare accordingly.

Many foraging walks are family-friendly and can accommodate all age groups. This offers a great learning experience for both adults and children, where families can enjoy discovering nature together.

Joining Meetup and browsing groups and events is generally free. However, some foraging walks might have a small fee to cover guide expenses or materials. Check the event details on Meetup for specific costs.

Participants are advised to bring comfortable walking shoes, appropriate clothing for weather, a water bottle, and potentially a notebook for any discoveries or tips learned during the walk. Specific requirements might be detailed in the event description.

Foraging walks are generally safe when led by knowledgeable guides who teach participants to safely identify plants. However, participants should follow guidelines provided to avoid picking or consuming anything without certainty of its safety.

Not all plants discovered during walks are edible. A key aspect of foraging walks is to educate participants on distinguishing plants that are safe for consumption from those that are not, under expert guidance.

Most foraging events will be outdoors to fully explore natural environments. However, weather and season can influence exact locations or timing, with alternative venues discussed by organizers if needed.

Meetup allows participants to join groups where they can interact with other enthusiasts, share experiences, or plan informal meet-ups or extra activities outside of official events.

Event availability depends on seasonality and group organizers. Many foraging walks are more frequent during the spring and summer months when flora is abundant, although some opportunities still exist in other seasons.
