🍽️ Setting a festive French-style table, to receive admiring "Oh's" and "Ah's" is not something you can improvise!
⭐ Don't forget the fleece under the tablecloth, it provides real comfort! The tablecloth must be ironed carefully and fall 30cm from the floor.
⭐ Place plates 2cm from the edge of the table, never more than 3 stacked.
⭐ Place cutlery from the outside in according to the order of the dishes.
⭐ The tines of the fork against the tablecloth and the bulge of the spoon toward the sky.
⭐ The bread plate to the left above the fork.
⭐ The cake fork, rather than the spoon for dessert unless there's ice cream or cream.
⭐ Yes for a place card, but reserve knife holders and napkin rings for informal meals.
⭐ From left to right: water glass, red wine glass, white wine glass and the Champagne flute behind.
⭐ Ironed cloth napkins are placed in the center of the plate for lunch and to the right for dinner.
⭐ And above all, have a lot of fun with your guests around a table that's just like you! 🎉
