Atelier d’écriture : « Qui es-tu Nanna ? »

One name is on everyone's lips aboard the barge: that of Nanna Desprès. But did she really exist, or is she one of those legends that populate the historic quays facing Notre-Dame? On board, between those who swear they met her at the bar and those who see it as just a sailor's tale, no one can decide.

For the duration of an evening, seated in the red velvet of the reading lounge, we will follow in her footsteps like a treasure hunt: a forgotten object, a phrase attributed to her, a secret slipped into the bottom of a cocktail shaker... Fed by these clues, our texts will draw inspiration from the objects and books on the shelves, and from a few excerpts aptly chosen for the occasion. Together, we will compose the legend of Nanna Desprès, made of snippets spoken by different voices rather than a

complete narrative.

No prerequisites are required: the method is gentle, designed to free writing rather than constrain it. Whether you have never taken part in a workshop or writing is already a habit, everyone will be guided step by step, with benevolence. Let yourself be surprised: you will leave with a text that reflects you and the memory of an intimate evening, paced by care and lightness, to toast to Nanna's health in the most beautiful place there is.

Course of the workshop

Collective harvest: words, images, objects gathered from the place to fuel the imagination.

Writing a fragment of the legend of Nanna Desprès, guided step by step by Alice Moine, founder of the LIMAGINALE nomadic creative writing bubbles.

Oral reading for those who wish, in a supportive setting.
