The Art of Savoir-Vivre

The French do not have better manners.

They have different ones, and they are enormous fun to learn. Which fork, yes, but also how to hold a table, how to arrive at a French home, how to give a compliment that lands, how to disagree beautifully. Taught by someone who has spent years on the history of this and can tell you where every rule came from and which ones the French quietly ignore.

Led by Héloïse Landry, a Québécoise teacher who spent twenty-five years in a Montréal classroom teaching French, theatre and ethics before bringing all of it to Sarasota. She also runs the French conversation group at the Alliance Française de Sarasota.
