Charity Christmas Fair

Every year in Odessa, a charity diplomatic Christmas fair takes place. Its purpose is to raise funds to help the city. This year they raised money for expensive medical equipment for the city children’s hospital. At the fair, we represented France and French cuisine together with the French Alliance, Marquis Christophe de Lacarin, French winemaker from Shabo, and the French restaurant Café Sophie. We cooked French street food – crêpes, and Christophe treated everyone with his wine. By profession, Marquis de Lacarin is a perfumer and at the fair you could buy not only his wine, but also the perfumes “Odessa Fountain of Love”. There were a lot of guests at the fair, and we would not have managed by ourselves if it were not for our devoted students, who came with their families to support our initiative.
