History of Le Diner en Blanc

In 1988, Le Diner en Blanc (The White Dinner) was started buy a man named François Pasquier, who invited a few friends to the Bois de Boulogne one day in June. To find each other in the park, they all wore white. The dinner was such a success that they decided the next year, each person would invite some other friends and the event grew organically into the 10000+ dinner it is today. Le Diner en Blanc has become Paris’s most spectacular pop-up gathering and best-kept secret—the exact location is revealed on D-day a few minutes prior to setup. These flash mob/pop-up dinners have evidently become the latest trend in big cities here in the states. For more info, visit the following link: www.dinerenblanc.com
