François Pasquier
Founder of the concept and event: Le Dîner en Blanc de Paris
In 1988, after spending a few years abroad, François Pasquier wanted to organize a picnic to reconnect with old friends. The concept was simple: "Bring a meal, and bring a new friend." Seeing as his garden was too small to receive all the guests, he told them to convene at the Bois de Boulogne and to dress in white, so they could find each other. This friendly gathering became so popular that it grew over time.
Aymeric Pasquier
President and co-founder Diner en Blanc International
Born in France, he is one of the 4 sons of the founder. He has been living in Montreal for the last fifteen years and simply adores Canada, his adopted country. He imported the concept from France to Canada in 2009 with a friend and then to the United-States (in New York City) with the help of Sandy Safi. He is the host of Dîner en Blanc de Montreal and co-founder of Dîner en Blanc International Inc.
