Jeudis du Savoir in Berry | Jérôme Tessier

A Poetic and Cultural Rendezvous at the Mint Tea Café NANA1807

A Promising First Edition in an Emblematic Location

Berry is hosting a new cultural and poetic event: Les Jeudis du Savoir , reinvented by Maison NANA1807 . The series of conferences and talks, initiated a few years ago in Paris, is reborn in an exceptional location: the Mint Tea Café NANA1807 , nestled in the heart of Mehun-sur-Yèvre , a few steps from the Château de Charles VII. In this inspiring place, both warm and refined, the arts, knowledge and cultures now meet one Thursday a month around a Mint Tea for Peace .

A Loyal and Curious Audience at the Meeting

For this first in Berry, the public was there. Poetry lovers , Mint Tea Lovers loyal to the Maison NANA1807 , curious people from Mehun-sur-Yèvre , Bourges , Châteauneuf-sur-Cher , Montbrison or even those from Canada , all responded to the invitation with enthusiasm. The atmosphere, made of attentive listening and sincere sharing, gave the evening a taste of evidence: here, speech has its place.

Jérôme Tessier | Poet of Rare Intensity

The honor of inaugurating this new edition was entrusted to Jérôme Tessier . A discreet but intense poet, he came, guided by his daughter Anaïs , to offer a rare and precious reading. Born in 1956, a former communications professional, he has devoted his life to poetic writing for more than a decade. His texts, published in magazines such as L'Arpa and adapted for the cinema, trace an inner path deeply rooted in reality.

A Reading in Three Poetic Movements

The evening, divided into three parts, allowed us to discover several facets of his work. First, a series of contemporary poems , clear and embodied, then a selection of texts of more spiritual inspiration , carrying a quest for the absolute. Finally, in a last part marked by lightness and accuracy , Jérôme Tessier delivered some haikus , concentrated with pure emotion, evoking love, human adventure, and a peace that is always possible.

A Sensitive Encounter between the Poet and the Public

Through his words, a sensitive and fraternal vision of the world was expressed. The audience, touched by the accuracy of his images and the luminous simplicity of his language, exchanged at length with the poet after the reading. Spontaneous dialogues , sometimes intimate, where everyone seemed to want to prolong the echo of this poetry so close to life.

The hospitality of the NANA1807 Tea Room

a setting for the Word

The Mint Tea for Peace , prepared in the purest Moroccan tradition, warmed bodies as much as hearts, offering a tasteful setting for the shared words .
