We’ve reinvented the art of the French salon for the 21st century.

Welcome! We’re a new platform for cozy, interactive online discussions on your favorite topics. We believe in non-hierarchal, respectful, thought-provoking conversations — if that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place!

We take inspiration from the European salons that defined culture through intimate discussion with contemporaries.

Come connect with thoughtful people from all over the world… it might just change your life.

Attend a salon, become a salon host, and if you’d like to stay around between events, join our global community!
