Learning Les Arts de la Table
If you've ever had the chance to have a drink or stay the night at the Four Seasons George V in Paris, you have witnessed the spectacular blooms of Jeff Leatham. American floral designer to the stars, Leatham uses over 12,000 blooms in amazing floral decorations all over the hotel. And now you can learn from the master in a two hour course. The catch?
The course is only open to clients of the hotel or of Le Cinq restaurant.

Dessance is the name, a mix of the words dessert and naissance [birth], and the pastry chefs behind this cafe invite you to try their "innovative, light & addictive" new pastry creations. Modeled after a proper restaurant, you are invited to try a tasting menu of sweets, with matching wines or champagne.
