Well, after a hard day of work, the French like to forget about everything and take their time to relax. France is a country ruled by the gourmands and the wine-lovers so it is only normal that the favorite past time of the locals involves good food and wine. This is exactly what the Apéro is – a time before dinner when you enjoy a glass of wine with some delicious nibbles. We usually meet on the First Thursday of each month.
