Meeting
French: Eat a traditional dinner |
“We
are all travelers in the wilderness of the world, and the best that we can
find in our travels is an honest friend” – Robert Louis Stevenson
(1850-1894)
You really know a country when you know the people. They tell you what is
not written in the books, you experience who they are, what they think,
and maybe you will have made new friends!
A network of Parisians, who really enjoy meeting international visitors,
invite you to their home for dinner or lunch. In the French customs,
mealtime is the best time for socializing.
A Charter of Quality click
here regulates
the principles of this service for both hosts and guests.
You will meet French people speaking your language, open to other cultures
and really willing to share with you the best from France. You will meet
the people to your requests (hosts' age, talk topics…). You chose your
menu. And definitely, you will have a really authentic cross-cultural
experience.
