Relaunch of Diner des 3 Découverte​s


Dear lovely Parisians (locals and expats):

As some of you may already know, last year I launched a project called Diner des 3 Découverte​s, a "supper club" that allows people to discover a new neighbourhood, a new restaurant, and - the best part! - new people.

The project is simple: every two Fridays, for 20 weeks, I will organise a dinner in each arrondissement of Paris (starting from the 20th and finishing in the 1st), in a restaurant that I've never been to but for which I've read or received great reviews.  I will invite 2 people amongst my acquaintances ("first circle") and each of us 3 people must invite another person ("second circle"), making a total of 6 people for the dinner.

There is only one rule and one rule only: the newly invited person in the second circle can't know any of the other people in the initial group of 3!

I will soon be organising the first newly relaunched Diner des 3 Découverte​s in the coming weeks, but if you are interested in joining, please leave me a message in the comments below.  :)

Comme certains d'entre vous le savez déjà, je me suis lancée l'année dernière dans un nouveau projet qui s'appelle « Diner des 3 Découverte​s » : c’est un « supper club » qui permet aux gens de découvrir un nouveau quartier, un nouveau restaurant, et - la meilleure partie ! - de nouvelles personnes.

Le projet est simple : tous les deux vendredis pour 20 semaines je vais organiser un diner dans chaque arrondissement de Paris (en partant du 20eme pour finir dans le 1er), dans un restaurant que je connais pas mais pour lequel j'ai lu ou reçu d’un proche une recommandation positive. Je vais ainsi inviter 2 personnes parmi mes connaissances (« invitation première »), et chacun des 3 membres du premier cercle devra proposer une autre personne (« invitation secondaire ») afin de réunir 6 personnes pour le diner.

Il y a cependant un règle à suivre pour les invitations secondaires : la nouvelle personne invitée ne doit pas connaître les autres personnes du groupe initial de 3!

Je vais bientôt organiser le premier Diner des 3 Découverte​s (relancé) dans les prochaines semaines, mais si vous êtes intéressés à nous rejoindre, svp laissez-moi un message dans les commentaires ci-dessous ! :)

    Stumbled across your blog this evening & am really enjoying it! And what a brilliant idea to do these dinners! I'm moving to Paris in 2 weeks (from NYC) and would love to participate in the next one! Sounds like a great way to rediscover the city and get to know new people :)
