Come meet along the Seine and let’s enjoy Paris’ famous apéro hour together creatively! You'll receive an exclusive Wanderlust Designer illustrated postcard of Pont Alexandre III, along with shared art supplies to make it completely your own.
Color it. Paint it. Add some collage. Write on it. Ignore the lines entirely. There is no formal art lesson and absolutely no experience required. I'll offer a little creative inspiration to get us started, and then we'll settle in to create, chat, sip, and watch Paris go by.
Coming solo? Perfect. Postcard Apéro is meant to be an easy, informal way to meet other creative and curious people in Paris.
This postcard apéro takes us to Pont Alexandre III, perhaps the most ornate bridge in Paris. With its golden statues, elegant lamps, and sweeping views along the Seine, there’s no shortage of beautiful details to notice—and reinterpret in our own creative way.
Your registration includes:
One exclusive illustrated postcard to create and keep
Shared use of watercolors, pens, colored pencils, and other simple art supplies
A little creative inspiration from Betsy
A relaxed gathering with fellow Paris lovers and creative wanderers
One more piece of Paris to add to your Postcard Apéro collection

Bonjour, I'm Betsy.
I'm an artist, author, educator, and creative guide living between Paris and San Francisco.
For more than 35 years, creativity has shaped the way I work—and the way I experience the world. My Wanderlust Designer ateliers combine art, storytelling, history, culture, and exploration to help you notice the places you visit in an entirely different way.
You don't have to be an artist to explore creatively. You simply need curiosity, a willingness to slow down, and permission to notice. I'll bring the stories, materials, and encouragement.
Every other Thursday, my Postcard Apéro Hour moves to another spot along the Seine, and a new Paris view becomes our creative inspiration. Come once because you love this week's location, or join us throughout the season and build your own collection of Paris postcards and Paris evenings.
No need to attend in order. Each gathering stands completely on its own. Come for the postcard. Stay for the conversation. Leave with a little piece of Paris.
