In 2003, the self-made-man Gilles Amsallem launched “French Tuesdays” with his friend Pierre Battu. 10 years later, this members-only social network has close to 35,000 members around the world. Gilles heard about “Dîner en Blanc” around 15 years ago, and fell in love with the unique concept because it has style and elegance in common with French Tuesdays.
 
French Tuesdays knows the secret recipe of offering “unforgettable experiences” to its guests which is when they first co-produced Dîner en Blanc - New York in 2012 which was greatly appreciated by everyone. It created a great deal of excitement and curiosity among the French Tuesdays members and friends for the venue for the mass chic picnic is kept secret until the very last moment and we are delighted to see their overwhelming response since the schedule for 2013 in LA was announced!

When he saw the visually stunning images of the event, he was mesmerized by its elegance and was dazzled by the grace and grandeur of the event. There must be a similar event in LA, and with a dream of a white dinner picnic under the California moon, he reached out to the organizers to bring the party to Los Angeles.
