A story that began in Montreal, grew up in Paris, and arrived in Lyon

La Papoterie is the perfect activity to disconnect, create, share, and leave with a unique object. After conquering Paris, this modern and welcoming ceramic café is opening in Lyon in 2025, bringing with it a creative concept that appeals to both adults and children.

It all begins in 2016, when Laura She discovered a ceramic café in Montreal. It was love at first sight. She decided to bring the concept to France, adapting it to a modern, friendly, and relaxed atmosphere. La Papoterie began as a traveling workshop in iconic Parisian locations (Pavillon des Canaux, Recyclerie, Odéon…). 2018, Coline joins the adventure. Together, they open their first ceramic café in 2020, then a second one in 2022, a third in 2024, before arriving at Lyon in 2025.
«"La Papoterie is a place where we create, where we chat, where we relax."»
