On Saturday, May 30th, AFMO hosted an exclusive cocktail evening on the fifth floor of the Musée d'Orsay.

Guests strolled through the Impressionist Galleries, surrounded by Monet, Caillebotte, Van Gogh, and more, before heading to the terrace to raise a glass to French-American friendship overlooking the Seine. Guests were able to taste three signature cocktails inspired by Morisot, Van Gogh & Monet. 

The evening began with a private viewing of the Musée d’Orsay’s Impressionist Galleries. As guests discovered, or rediscovered, the museum’s impressive collection, art historians stood ready to share their extensive knowledge of the works on display.

Signature Cocktails

Guests had the opportunity to try two signature cocktails and one signature mocktail, all crafter and imagined by The Syndicat Agency. The former were inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Monet’s Poppies, whilst the latter drew inspiration from Morisot’s Butterfly Hunt.

Thank you to everyone who came. We hope to see you all again soon.
