the moms group organizes social potlucks for parents. there are limited spaces and it gets full very quickly. i leaped on the invitation last month and got a place, and today was the day. it was hosted by a korean american woman who had lived in several countries with her family, before coming to paris. she had one of those classic, haussman era, beautiful huge apartments in the 16th arrondissement. it is the parisien mansion, with its high ceilings, large entryway with ceiling to floor stained glass windows, and huge living room decorated with beautiful modern paintings. it was a lunch, which felt a little weird, since it was basically a party for the adults while their kid were in school. in general, the potluck is an easy way of meeting more of the parent community. people easily introduce themselves and chat. i met a woman who is an art critic/writer for a prominent art magazine. (she recommended some galleries for me to visit). the food was great too. i have already signed up for the next one.
