Spoken Word has, apparently, being active for rather a long time. Last night was announced as the 6000th event, probably. It’s certainly got a long tradition. It’s held au Chat Noir, a name that has been artistically significant in Paris for more than a century.

It’s on every Monday evening, so far as I know. It’s in both English and French (I read in both languages). Ok, so I’m slightly biased, but if you’re in Paris, go there.
