Remember that little heads-up a week back — something rare, coming only in July? 🇫🇷
Here it is:
Les Soirées Françaises — an evening in French, at my table.
Calling all foodies. And in particular… calling all French foodies. This one's a treat, right here in St. Augustine. 🥖
Three evenings. Eight seats. Two hours of French only — pas un mot d'anglais — around a real French meal, cooked and served at home:
🥂 Thursday, July 2 — Quiches & Légumes d'Été (dessert: Tarte au citron)
🐟 Friday, July 10 — Le Saumon en Papillote (dessert: Madeleines au citron, tièdes)
✨ Friday, July 17 — La Surprise du Chef Philippe (dessert d'honneur: Macarons TJLC)
Desserts by Alexandre Perchat, Compagnon Pâtissier. Fish, meat & vegetarian options every evening.
The moment you enroll, you'll receive the three TJLC handbooks that accompany the dinner, yours to keep:
La Cuisine Française (French Cooking)
À Table ! (Come to the Table)
Easy Tourist French
Each gives you the French you'll actually use that evening — with a simple phonetic breakdown and the English translation — so beginners can jump right in. More advanced? We'll dive into wonderful French conversation. Truly all levels welcome — all you have to do is come ready to play full out, and together we'll immerse in the language, the culture, and the food… comme si vous étiez en France. As if you were right there in France.
Come for one evening — or do all three (buy two, the third's on me).
There are 8 seats. 2 are reserved. 6 remain. When they're gone, they're gone.
