the ultimate party

from my french obsession by leah

Upon my research for french etiquette, I found several pictures about this event in Paris.

Held annually outside, the White Dinner (Dîner en Blanc) party takes place around mid-June, in a different venue every year. You must be invited.

Participants are asked to bring their own meal and cutlery, but don't know the location of the actual dinner until 15 minutes beforehand (by phone usually).

Last year, the event took place at the l'Arc de Triumph, with more than 7,500 people! The location is kept secret until the last minute because they don't want police breaking up this fabulous party. (and they've tried!)
