Hi everyone! I am a college student from Florida and am in a Little Dinner series class where we "cater" a dinner. Basically we come up with the dinner, purchase food/supplies, cook, serve, clean, decorate, etc. My group is doing a Paris-themed dinner. I know nothing about Paris. Could you all give me some input on things to keep in mind for the dinner? i.e. traditions for dinner (what order food is served, what food is served, what wine is served, table set up, etc.), entertainment we can use during the reception (I think I've heard impressionist painters and accordian players are popular), popular cold hors d'oeuvre's, popular sites, ideas of decor to use to decorate the rooms, colors (other than the colors of the flag), etc. ANY input would be greatly appreciated to make this dinner as close to the real thing as possible. I've done tons of research on this subject but what better way to know about Paris than to hear from someone who lives/lived there!? Thank you all so much!

Well, I know that if you get wine and cheese for a French meal; you're not going to end wrong. Good luck to you.

during the dinner, you won't regret ordering a couple of French champagne. As you know, it's one of the best in the world.
