What we’re about
Hi I am Mariette! A hard-core Francophile, (and francophone), who enjoys sharing my love for French arts and culture with our local Southern California people who enjoy the same or curious to learn. As a multi-media artist whose practice revolves around mostly French things (not all, but mostly), I love chatting about art, European art history, and current cultural events. But, first, before we talk arts and culture, we must also experience good food! French pastries you say?? Got you covered! We schedule regular croissant/pastry exploration experiences, as well as cafe/dining.
Coffee chats, museum visits, art experiences, dinners, all with a Parisian/French vibe.
I look forward to meeting you, and hope you join and gain new insight by attending one of our upcoming events!
À bientôt!
Mariette
