White Dinner Party #3
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
One day on our trip to Paris we went to see the Arc de Triumph and suddenly saw this interesting thing. There ware many people wearing white, from head to toe and one dog, of course, in hite. It was White Dinner party (or "flashmob in white").
What is it White Dinner party? Every year around mid June, a big open air white dinner party is organized somewhere in Paris. The funny part of it is that its location is kept secret until the very end. Participants are asked to go to a certain spot and wait. 15 minutes before the actual start they get an SMS or a phone call that tells them where to gather. This year it was around the Arc de Triumph on the place de l'Etoile - and it was quite impressive as you can see. More than 7,500 people gathered in front of the Arc de Triumph for a three-hour dinner.
Police arrived 10 minutes later but could do little but stand and watch as what organizers say was a crowd of 7,500 munched and sipped wine on what is usually one of the busiest traffic spots in Paris.
The venue of the yearly "dinner in white" is always kept secret until the last possible minute, with a second location ready in case police prevent diners from making it to the first.
