Sharing the passion in Paris: intimate gatherings & indulgences – May 2013 invitations are out!

In Paris, it was cold, grey, dreary and either wet or snowing outside during much of February 2013.  

The atmosphere was, however, very warm, excitable & animated at our member-only MaVieFrançaise® – MyFrenchLife.org February events; intimate gatherings & indulgences indeed!

The first event in our February series was quite an indulgence: a French-style high tea at the Four Seasons Hotel George V. We chatted and indulged, for so long that we left in the dark!

Francophiles and French share the passion in Paris

What diverse members we enjoy: French, francophiles, travellers, expats, anglophones – all sharing the passion of the best of all things French in Paris. Members who attended this event were from France, Belgium, England, Australia, Argentina, the Philippines and also Brooklyn, USA.

Like-minded people connecting

8462187697_ede91dac36_bAt Four Seasons Hotel George V we met new members, Catherine and Kala. Catherine, a French woman, has lived in many places including New York City, and is now living in Laguna Beach, California.

Catherine found us originally on LinkedIn and saw that we shared mutual connections in LA, so she secured the last place available to join our table. Catherine was only in Paris for a few days, so we were all lucky to meet her.

Kala is originally from the Philippines. With her French partner, she often leads the expat life elsewhere in the world – wherever their careers take them. The talented Kala is not only a member, but she has also recently joined our MaVieFrançaise® Paris team as a photographer.

Other members who’ve attended our events previously were thrilled to see each other again and deepen their friendships.

Diverse discussions

I am always amazed at the breadth and the depth of discussion topics at our functions. The afternoon tea discussion was no exception, ranging from making connections and forming friendships to the development of apps and iBooks, French history, relationships, travel, book referrals, discussion about photography and cameras, and on and on…

Curb your curiosity – join us!

8462155805_36c618e871_bIf the discussion wasn’t enough, afternoon tea was simply superb! The champagne, very special tea, sandwiches, scones, cakes, pastries, chocolates and more.

After a feast like that it may seem hard to believe that the service we received at the Four Seasons Hotel George V was even better than the food.

Cynthia said that it was the indulgent French afternoon tea that really caught her eye on our invitation for the February events.

“Indulgent it was, AND with great company – I’ll be back!” she said.

 

We’ve known Cynthia from Melbourne since before MyFrenchLife.org was established and she is now living in Paris.
