The evening was off to a wild start with that one wave. Each year the stories coming from this event are even more exciting than the year before. A Romantic real French soiree with music, dancing, lots of photo ops and even a wedding proposal.

Dîner in Blanc is one of 80 cities hosting the infamous worldwide event. It is produced by local partners (Linda Davis, Christine Tripoli, and Peter Kohlmann) along with Dîner en Blanc International. This incredible, well organized, all the way to the smallest detail was founded by Aymeric Pasquier and Sandi Safi. Pasquier is the son of François Pasquier, who started the phenomenon in Paris, as a way to reunite old friends after living abroad.
