And now, a café in Paris is inviting customers to pen their own message to themselves — which they will then deliver to you in one, five or even 20 years’ time.
Café Pli is the self-proclaimed ‘first letter café in France’, encouraging customers to ‘confide in yourself with an open heart’.
‘If Café Pli were ever to close its doors, the letters would be entrusted to a reliable person who would ensure they are sent as planned.
But if you’re playing the long-game, and opt to receive your note in five or 20 years time, you’ll get it at the beginning of the relevant year.
Melissa Amale, an NYC based lifestyle TikToker recently posted about Café Pli, and her video went viral, with more than 540,000 views.
