12h–14h30 — CONTEMPORAINS !

There are seven of them. The authors of the first season of CONTEMPORAINS: unique voices, exhilarating stories, fringe writing.

Had lunch at Nanna? Waiting for Hippies treats you to coffee!

14h30–17h — SANTA CLAUS AWAITS YOU AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HOLD

Books, objects, music… immerse yourself in the WFH spirit and meet the people behind the publishing house over a winter infusion or mulled wine offered by Nanna.

And since Christmas is approaching, browse among our books and gift ideas endowed with an extra touch of soul.

17h–18h30 — PIRATES !

Discover the first two books of PIRATES, Waiting for Hippies' vintage collection dedicated to the troublemakers of the 60, 70 and 80.

In the spotlight this winter: Bukowski.
