What is Le Diner you may ask? Well Wikipedia simply states it as a 1998 French comedy film written and directed by Francis Veber. However how much fun that may seem, there is an even more interesting version of Le Diner.
Well i did a bit of research, and here is a little excerpt i got from a Le Diner event that was recently organized in Singapore.
”Over the course of an evening, the diners enhance the function and value of their city’s public space by participating in the unexpected.
Beyond the spectacle and refined elegance of the dinner itself, guests are brought together from diverse backgrounds by a love of beauty and good taste.
There are no disruptions: no car traffic, no pedestrian traffic, except for the occasional amazed and astonished looks from passersby at the scene unfolding before them…”
Seems interesting huh? So the deal here is that Kenya, with the help of Infinite Planners, is about to experience its first ever Le Diner event and the good news is that you can be a part of it!
