From bistros with lively outdoor patios to cultural institutions slowly beginning to once again open their doors, French culture is alive and well in New York. (For instance, did you know there’s a Little Paris in downtown Manhattan?) And this Bastille Day, we’ll be celebrating the best of the best of it all day long on our Instagram account.
We’ve partnered with JP Linguistics, a language school in Soho, for a jam-packed day of French-themed Instagram Lives highlighting amazing things you can do both at home and around the city. We may be banned from Europe this summer, but that doesn’t mean we can’t raise a glass of champagne to salute France from afar! (Please let us back in soon.)

9am: Learn how to make authentic French Toast during this kickoff event with JP Linguistics
