The Chef members of the French International Culinary Society are coming together once again to recreate this century-old French tradition. An important ritual in many French villages and towns, “Le Marché de Noël” is an opportunity for artisans to gather and showcase their trades in the spirit of holiday giving. This fun gourmet event is just in time for that last-minute holiday shopping, where you will find unusual and rare gift ideas – many of which are not available anywhere else – while sampling French wine and specialties from the area’s top chefs. The event will feature art, fashion, live music, chef tables, a brunch-style buffet, Mimosas, French wines, exclusive retailers and a silent auction. “Le Marché de Noël” is an elegant event with casual seating. It is appropriate to enjoy simply as a gourmet affair, or just to take advantage of the special purchase opportunities. Club dress code applies.
