Dîner en Blanc 2022 in Paris: how to be part of the White Dinner?

And here is THE smart event of the end of summer… Dîner en Blanc, gathering every year thousands of guests all dressed in white for a picnic. After two editions cancelled over the health crisis, the now famous Dîner en Blanc of Paris is back. Usually held in June in a secret venue, the Dîner en Blanc Paris switches things a bit this year. For this new and 34th edition in Paris, Dîner en Blanc expects you all, smartly dressed in white, on Thursday September 15, 2022. A date not left to chance as for the first time in its history, Dîner en Blanc will open European Heritage Days.

And needless to say this new edition of Dîner en Blanc is a must. How come? Simply because most people hear about it once it is over, or some get the key opener - a text message from the organizers a few hours before.

Yes, it is. Dîner en Blanc is a very special event, a dinner fascinating the whole world, so much that numerous cities followed the movement. Created in 1988 in Paris by François Pasquier and his close friends, the concept is now available in 120 cities across 40 countries worldwide! Guests, invited upon cooptation and hand-picked, must come all dressed in white with chairs, tables, tableware, meal and white napkins.
