Local Event
For those who may think the French can be a bit uptight, we suggest visiting a Parisian bar right after work hours for a distinctly different experience. The din of conversation, laughter, and the soft clinking of toasting glasses fills the room. The relaxed energy of Le Cinq à Sept, "the five-to-seven" is inescapable.
As the French wind down after a long work day, they cherish the opportunity to connect with friends over drinks and, in true French fashion, food. This l'heure de l'apéro isn't meant to replace dinner, however, only to stimulate the appetite and tide one over until later in the evening when a proper meal is enjoyed. That means small bites bursting with flavor, not calories. Spicy, marinated olives. Baguette slices smeared with incredibly rich butter and anchovies. Whisper-thin slices of charcuterie matched to savory cheeses. So many options.
If you love to entertain, le cinq à sept is a fabulous way to lead into your next dinner party. Easy to create and endlessly customizable, mastering the art of l'apero is a must for bringing a little bit of Paris to your gathering.
Join educator and writer (and bon vivant) Adam Centamore for an evening learning the ways of this French entertaining institution. You'll sample a variety of typical happy hour snacks and bites found throughout Paris, paired with the libations served in the City of Lights.Jusqu'a la morte!
