Where to Eat: At Faubourg Daimant and Micho with Liquid Love

Until December 15, dive into a modern banquet, the perfect antidote to December’s gloom, with Julien Sebbag and Alice Tuyet. This duo of chefs invites us to celebrate love, life, and sauce. Sebbag, master of sunny sauces, joins Alice, the green goddess of epicureanism, to combine the freshness of plant-based cuisine with the richness of gastronomic traditions. The experience unfolds in two locations: Faubourg Daimant and Micho, where each dish is an invitation to celebrate abundance and creativity. At Faubourg, the dish is served bistro-style, while at Micho, it takes the form of a sandwich, always showcasing the chefs’ dedication and creativity. What makes this banquet even more exciting is the sharing of these four-handed dishes: a dual-voiced experience where every gesture and flavor is designed to intertwine perfectly.

Where to Have Fun: Enrich Yourself with Air Afrique

Mark your calendars: the Air Afrique Cine-Club is back! After a successful launch in January 2023, marking the beginning of an adventure dedicated to rediscovering African cinema, this month’s session will take place on Friday, November 29, at 7:30 PM at Cinema Christine. Featured is Richard Fleischer’s work, Mandingo (1975). Adapted from Kyle Onstott’s novel, the film takes us to Louisiana in 1840, into a plantation ruled with an iron fist by patriarch Warren Maxwell. A drama of slavery where desires and brutality intertwine in a tragic narrative, elevated by the presence of a Mandingo slave. Don’t miss this opportunity for an immersion into this dark chapter of American history.
