“A truly synergistic experience in Paris...Great talk over great food and great wine." L.M., Chicago

  Red Wine - The French "Non Diet" And The Art Of Eating for Pleasure – Macaron or macaroon? Learn what it means to "Eat French" and never look at radishes, cheeses, hams, salt, or almost anything else you eat the same way again [Be sure to see our Gourmet Talks!].

  - Navigating The French - There’s Paris, and then there's...the French: To smile or not to smile? The winks, the shrugs, the codes, the dogs. Never get intimidated or stuck with stale croissants again.

- Seduction And The Art Of The French Femme – She’s different, and men (and women) sit up and take notice…Centuries old secrets of style and femininity. Invaluable tips, tantalizing tidbits. For women...and men who can't seem to connect the dots.

- Doing Business With The French – French corporate culture and the Gallic approach to work, and play. If you’ve ever wondered how Paris cafés stay jam-packed all day long and anything gets done, this is the Talk for you.

- Rules Of La Table – In today’s international business environment the restaurant has become the new meeting room. Food terms, food/wine etiquette, do’s, don’ts. Never mess up a potential deal (or romance!) again because you salted your food without tasting it first....

- L’Art De Vivre – Transform even the most mundane event into a life-enriching experience. The French approach to fashion, decorating, entertaining, more. Turn your life around and make it sparkle!

- Decorating With A French Flair – Elegance, refinement, conviviality. An East Village brownstone or a sumptuous home in Maui? Minimal or traditional, when it comes to decorating, there’s no mistaking that French Touch. Give your home, or just a room, a unique feel. A re-look at textures, space, color, fabric, art, furnishings... [To top off this Talk, a visit to a Parisian home or small city loft apartment straight off the pages of a European interiors magazine can be arranged].

- Entertaining With A French Flair – Gourmet and Connoisseur Brillat-Savarin once said, "To invite a person into your home is to take charge of his happiness for as long as he is under your roof." Turn any soirée or dinner party into a memorable event, French style. Tips on meal/course planning from the apéro to digestif; how to "set the stage” and even what to wear.

- Da Vinci Code – Though the fanfare has died, the smile remains. Get it out of your system with an invigorating Talk where it all began: at the elegant Hotel Ritz.

* Afternoon Tea in Paris is from 4 to 6 p.m.
