Vive La France!
The timing could not have been better. The new French Ambassador to Jamaica Jean-Michel Despax arrived but a day earlier — in the nick of time — to celebrate his European homeland’s National Day at the Hillcrest Avenue Embassy he will call home for the next four years. With J Wray and Nephew-stocked bar stations, and a buffet spread of food that naturally included French cheeses and Euro-centric cuisine, diplomats, business types and government officials rubbed shoulders and raised champagne toasts to the country’s 225th anniversary. Saturday Social takes you to the celebration.
