Salon Littéraire - Meet Elliot for a Bookshelf Conversation

Once a month, TheMerode invites you to experience a new format: the Literary Salon by Elliot Ibouzidene. Here, the notion of a “salon” regains its original meaning — an intimate, contemporary gathering devoted to literature, conceived as a living conversation rather than a formal lecture.
