Wine, cooking, dancing and French conversation

I just added three new Paris Activities pages to the Resource Guide today (and it's about time, sheesh!):

- Food & Wine 
A selection of wine tasting courses and cooking classes in Paris.

- Conversation
Practice your French and meet the locals and international expats.

- Dancing
Learn a few new moves or show off the ones you already have! 

What was the happy occaison? I finally got a chance to meet Theresa Murphy of La Cucina di Terresa, and attend one of her classes. Here are some photos of our lovely evening.
