Thank You Day at La Bellevilloise on February 8
The Banh Mi collective invites Parisians to celebrate Vietnamese cultures and identities at La Bellevilloise this Sunday, February 8. With Thank You Day – "Thank You" meaning "Cam On" – we express our gratitude for the past year, the Year of the Wood Snake, as we welcome the new Year of the Fire Horse. So, what's on the agenda? A photo exhibition, creative workshops, conferences, screenings, and of course, delicious food stands hosted by several Vietnamese food restaurateurs. To wrap up the day, we'll groove to showcases and DJ sets featuring artists from the Vietnamese diaspora, blending neo-soul, R&B, pop, and baile funk.

The Bao Family Banquet at Tang Fr&
After February 19
The Bao Family is raising the bar this year with an absolutely delightful banquet! So, mark your calendars for February 19 at 8:45 PM at Tang Frères, the emblem and symbol of Paris's Chinatown, right in the heart of the Chinese New Year celebrations. To celebrate their 50th anniversary, alongside the Bao Family and Barbes Magazine, they are transforming their famous shop on Avenue d'Ivry into a XXL dining hall. The idea? We’ll gather amidst the spices and instant noodles for a one-of-a-kind meal, crafted by the Sino-American chef Zoey Xinyi Gong with a theme inspired by traditional Chinese medicine.
