A Night in Paris ~ Joyeux Noel
A friend and I hosted a holiday
dinner party for our Mah Jongg group.
Some of you may remember
that I spent two weeks in France last fall.
One of my friends joined me when I arrived in Paris.
While there, we began planning a
special dinner party for
A Night in Paris.
The table featured our own
La Tour Eiffel
complete with sparkling lights . . .
Atop a Champ de Mars
of fresh greens and fragrant rose petals.
Une Magnifique Soirée!
There were twelve of us,
so we set another small table to the side.
While in Paris last September,
we dined at Auberge Bressane,
one of my favorite restaurants which offers
an authentic traditional French cuisine.
In anticipation of our dinner party,
our waiter let us buy some of the restaurant's napkins
to take home as souvenirs of our trip.
Dinner plates
~ Spode Christmas Tree ~
We brought back these
adorable trays for each of our guests.
They served as perfect
bread plates for croissants and butter.
Wrapped packages for
each guest were sparkly Eiffel Tower
ornaments to hang on their own tree
and a copy of
THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS IN PARIS.
Brie En Croute and champagne to toast
the evening while lively French music filled the room.
We had a local restaurant make our main course,
authentic savory French crepes ~ The Eiffel and The Bruni.
You can see a complete menu for Café Crepé here.
Haricot Vert and fresh tomatoes
topped with a special vegetable mixture.
