Bastille Day Soirée by So Frenchy So Chic
For one night only, Francophiles and music lovers alike will have a blast at the So Frenchy So Chic Discothèque. Expect live performances from DJs, and a unique live performance of the Yé-Yé 2.0 music project, featuring Ali Barter.
The dress code for this event draws inspiration from the iconic Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg. Think sequins, tuxedos for him and her, late ’60s minis, 70s maxis, lace, bell-bottoms, double denim, and the boldest accessories you can find!
To keep your energy up, there will be a range of French delicacies to try from Hotel Gitan, Frederic and Milk the Cow. Pre-ordering is recommended, and your last chance to pre-order food is Tuesday July 6 at midday. Items on the menu include:
- Fondue – Swiss Gruyere, Appenzeller, Comté and Emmenthal cheeses melted together with white wine and served with bread
