How late should you be for a formal dinner in France?
We have a myth in the UK that you should arrive 'fashionably late' for dinner in France. Is this still true? Was it ever? How late is fashionably late? And is there a French expression for it?
It's not a myth it's true ! I'm French and I can tell you that isn't good to be on time for a dinner.
I usually arrive 15-20 minutes late.
Being on time shows you're looking forward too much to going to your dinner and arriving earlier is almost rude !
Have fun to your dinner and don't forget some flowers for the 'Madame'
Well, let's say that I sweat over the stove all day to prepare a fancy dinner, I have all the evening planed, and you arrive late, you'd better be the cherry of the party ;-)
