Hello, everybody! My experience will be about sharing a moment. What I would love to do is to invite you for a traditional French dinner. The same that I would do with my family or my friends. Eating in France is more than just food, it is a highly social event of joy and sharing. It takes a little time because it is required to chat for a little between each dish^^. Those moments will be great to share experiences about food, traditions, experiences, travels and more. I also love talking about my country, it's culture and history so I will be more than happy to share about that with you. First, we will have "apéro", which is just talking with a drink and some finger food but there is no proper dinner in France without the apero ahaha. After that we will get a little more serious with the entrée, the main dish and dessert. Of course all of that will be accompanied with French wine. Most dishes I will cook, I learned from my mother, so you can be sure it will be hearty and traditionnal . I will do my best to make you feel at home, and maybe for a moment, like you have been living here forever.
