June 1 will be the Fête des Voisins, otherwise known as "Immeubles en Party". It is a French Festival, which was born in 1999 in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, and which aims to bring together the neighbors of a neighborhood in a friendly way.
The purpose of this evening is to meet, get to know each other, share a good time and feel like you belong to a street, a neighborhood, all together. This evening is all about getting together to eat together . Everyone is responsible for a dish , a drink , the setting of the table, the decoration, the music...
