The Nuits de la Poésie 2023 at the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris

Les Nuits de la Poésie is the flagship event of Quebec literature since 1970, to hear the greatest poets of Quebec declaim their works. After a successful first edition, the House of Canadian Students at the Cité internationale universitaire is launching the Nuits de la Poésie again in France, to gather the general public around poetry, from March 21 to 26, 2023, day and night.

Classic and emerging poets from Canada, Portugal, Tunisia and other French-speaking countries will perform poetry and music, writing workshops, slams, screenings, meetings and an open stage. For this new free edition, the programming revolves around the theme of spring.
