Holding a French-inspired Party

France is a romantic country, which we all dream to stay there or have a trip. Why don’t we hold a French-inspired party? Now let’s see what we should prepare for an French party.
Firstly, the decoration. Setting a thoroughly charming table inspired by French linens and flowers. Flower sack fabric covers folding chairs; small bouquets of roses dot the table. French lemons and bottles of water are the only other adornment. Then stripes in faded blues combine with neutrals and black for a room that's modern and inviting. We used the same rugs to make two kinds of pillows: a large one and a smaller one with an envelope-style opening. These easy-to-make baskets look like they were plucked from a French open-air market. 
Secondly, the wine. You'll never run out of great French wines to try, which means learning about them can easily become a lifelong pleasure. French Champagne gives this gin cocktail a shot of glamor. These whimsical glasses are ideal for serving Lillet -- a French aperitif with a sprig of mint and slice of orange.
 
Lastly, the food. Once you catch the hang of it, the world of crepes is yours. For tender meat and a crisp, golden brown skin in about an hour, high-heat oven roasting is the way to go. The baguette is probably France's most beloved export. Beneath the crisp, brittle crust of a baguette is an airy crumb and a rich, nutty flavor, making it the perfect accompaniment to any meal.
 
Salute the French flag by making this trio of tarts that will have people guessing if you own French patisserie. French almond macaroons are almost as pretty to look at as they are delicious to eat. Use this pate a choux recipe to make mouthwatering French pastries.
