The White Dinner (Diner en Blanc) Anne told me about this event called Diner en Blanc that might be the coolest thing Iâve ever heard of. It happens every year (each year in a new location) and the attendees donât know where they are going until 15 minutes before it starts. Everyone wears white and and has a giant dinner party under the stars.
