Coucou Events
French Cultural
Events in New York
Come and join our fun, culturally-savvy events throughout the year – art shows, film screenings, wine tastings and everything in between!
While the backyard parties we organized in our former Williamsburg space were legendary, we plan to continue the tradition in our new Nolita space! We celebrate our French cultural heritage by hosting parties for such annual events as Bastille Day and Mardi Gras, but sometimes Coucou parties are just an excuse to get together and meet classmates, teachers and students of other levels in a casual setting! Class outings are a regular occurence as well – we’ve taken groups to various local bars and restaurants, and sometimes to a game of Escape The Room (in French!).
We look forward to resuming our cultural events and parties and to hosting you at Coucou as soon as it becomes possible again!
Upcoming Coucou Events:
WINE TASTING W/ PASCALINE LEPELTIER
Friday, May 20th at 6:30pm
It’s time for another Coucou wine tasting workshop with Meilleur Sommelier de France and Meilleur Ouvrier de France Pascaline Lepeltier! This time we’ll focus on that most quintessential of warm weather activities – the barbecue! Grilling al fresco doesn’t only mean rosé – join us on a mini tour de France as we discover the wine offerings of several different regions that pair perfectly with warm sun, good friends and your favorite grilled meats and veggies! In addition to the obligatory rosé, we’ll sample light, summer-ready reds, refreshing whites and even some bubbles. All wines are biodynamic and low-sulfur. The charcoal is lit/The string lights are out and the picnic blanket is spread – the only missing ingredient is you!

* THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE TAUGHT IN ENGLISH AND IS OPEN TO STUDENTS OF ALL LEVELS
