Sophie de la Bigne, an expert in savoir-vivre through a thousand-year-old family tradition and founder of Art et la Manière à la Française, invites you to revisit the main stages of the introduction of savoir-vivre from the Renaissance onwards. After a historical presentation, she discusses the main themes: - How to send or respond to an invitation? - Should we bring flowers, a gift? - What time do we arrive? - The role of the aperitif - How to make presentations? - How to establish the perfect table plan? - The role of the mistress and the master of the house - The rules of table service - Habits in conversation, etc. Then Sophie de la Bigne lets you test your own skills to set the table and then corrects you by giving you the codes to respect. - The French cover - the uses at the table, etc. A real moment of friendly exchange from which you will come out with the best keys for your future invitations.
