Looking for a creative break right in the heart of Paris? The Café QJ, just a stone’s throw from the Louvre, is launching a new series of artistic gatherings starting on Saturday, February 7, 2026. The first event, called "Creative Table", will focus on cyanotype, an old yet accessible photographic technique. From 10:30 a.m. to noon, artist Mathilde Pinon will guide participants through a relaxed and friendly workshop suitable for all skill levels. Attendees can enjoy a beverage on-site for an additional fee.

No need to bring any equipment or have prior experience: just come with a spark of imagination. The cyanotype technique, a poetic process that uses light to produce images, allows you to experiment with shapes and shadows to create striking deep blue pictures. This workshop, offered in an intimate setting, provides a chance to explore an original art form while enjoying a relaxing moment. To extend the experience, a snack prepared by the Café QJ is served, giving participants the opportunity to chat over a coffee or juice.
