Café Pli: the new Parisian venue reinventing the art of correspondence

Café Pli, France’s first letter-writing café, has just opened in Paris, offering a unique experience for lovers of the written word.

Located in the heart of Paris, Café Pli offers an original concept that combines handwritten correspondence with a gourmet break. This innovative venue invites visitors to rediscover the art of letter-writing in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

A unique concept

Café Pli stands out for its mission: to promote a return to handwritten letters in the digital age. Customers will find elegant stationery, quality pens and specially designed postcards. A quiet corner is provided for writing, while enjoying a cup of coffee or tea.

Visitors can write their letters on the spot and send them directly from the café. Letterboxes are integrated into the décor, creating an immediate link between the written word and its recipient.

An atmosphere conducive to creativity

Café Pli is inspired by the Parisian literary salons of yesteryear. Quotations from writers and literary works adorn the walls. Wooden furniture, subdued lighting and a subtle selection of music provide the ideal setting for reflection and writing.

Visitors can sit down comfortably, surrounded by books, to write their correspondence or simply enjoy a moment of peace and quiet.

A cultural café

Café Pli is more than just a place to read, it’s also a cultural meeting place. It regularly organizes writing workshops and literary discussions, inviting contemporary authors for book signings and informal meetings with customers. The café’s ambition is to become a genuine space for literary sharing and creation.

With the opening of Café Pli, Paris revives the tradition of letter-writing and offers Parisians a place where writing and conviviality meet. A unique letter café, where every word counts.
