Sunday, May 21, 21:30 — 23:30DINNER/CRUISE
The 120th AES Dinner Party goes on a cruise.
Combine the pleasure of a Gourmet Dinner with a cruise on the River Seine in a relaxing and convivial atmosphere !
The waters of the River Seine have always been the heart and soul of Paris. The Seine is crossed by many beautiful bridges. The oldest one, the Pont-Neuf near the Notre-Dame Cathedral, was inaugurated in 1607, and the exuberant Alexandre III bridge near the Invalides, was built for the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris.
The gourmet menu features a five-appetizer course, with turban of plaice and smoked salmon and fresh spinach, goat cheese with flaky pastry topped with sesame seeds, vol-auvent filled with peppered duck foie gras, Oriental salad, and aubergine caviar.
The main course offers a choice of two dishes: braised veal with mushroom sauce and braised risotto, or sea bream coated with layers of scallops and courgettes. A vegetarian main course can be arranged on request.
The dessert is composed of a mini warm apple pie, fresh shortbread biscuit with pear and chocolate, and delicious Catalan cream with orange-flower water flavoring.
The menu includes aperitif, wine, water and coffee.
