Entertaining Elements

Bonne Fête!

Bonjour! Add a French flair to your next book club meeting, bon voyage party, bridal or baby shower.

Create the ambience of a sidewalk café with the fragrance of fresh flowers amassed in tin buckets. Add candles to recycled wine bottles and stage with the iconic Eiffel Tower. Pair crusty baguettes and an array of wines and cheeses from various regions of France. Finish the repast with an elegant display of tempting French pastries. Use oversized postcards as table or wall décor. You may even want to play a classic French movie on your TV, or to set the mood with music, play local French chanteuse Marianne Dissard, whose latest CD L’Entredeux, features original compositions in her native tongue.
