The university in Aviller shares readings in French and English. The short story is written by Matthew Clark Davison Doubt Thomas (Amble Press 2021), co-author of the handbook Lab: Experiments in writing across genres (WW Norton, 2025) and Professor of Creative Writing at the University of San Francisco.

On July 5, 2024, Colleen Kinder and a group of 12 students embarked on a month-long travel writing adventure to Auvillar. Since their arrival, they have immersed themselves as fully as possible in their foreign environment, drawing from Aviller’s typical cultural ecosystem to produce short and long essays every day. During this final public reading, “Thank you Avvilar!” To say that, in English and French, they will share their creations with you. To give them trails to follow, stories to tell, mountains to conquer!
