French movie party

Yesterday, on 30th August 2018, our French interns organized a French Movie Event to share their culture!

First, we cooked sweet crêpes. In France, crêpes are traditionally served on Candlemas (La Chandeleur), 2 February. A belief is that catching the crêpe with a frying pan after tossing it in the air with your right hand while holding a gold coin in your left hand would cause you to become rich that year!

Then, we watched the movie called “The Chorus” (“Les Choristes” in French) while trying out the crêpes with whipped cream, bananas, maple syrup, Nutella, speculoos or just sugar!  The Chorus is a wonderful movie with a touching plot and amazing soundtracks. We strongly recommend anyone to watch it!
