Otkrivamo tajnu tajne večere u belom u Parizu (FOTO GALERIJA)

Na hiljade građana Pariza proslavilo je u četvrtak 25. godišnjicu tradicionalnog događaja poznatog kao “Večera u belom”. Zvanice su mogle da prisustvuju samo uz pozivnicu, a lokacija im je saopštena tek sat vremena pred početak večere.

Najveća tajna večera na svetu odigrala se sinoć u blizini Ajfelove kule. Svi gosti su morali da dođu gradskim prevozom, da budu obučeni u belo od glave do pete, kao i da ponesu stolove za piknik, hranu i vino.

“Večera u belom” se održava svake godine na nekom od zabranjenih mesta za okupljanje u Parizu. Tradicija je počela pre 25 godina, kada se okupila grupa od deset prijatelja koji su poželeli da jedu na zabranjenoj lokaciji.

Njihov poduhvat je te 1988. godine prerastao u večeru za 200 ljudi, koja je održana u parku Bagatel, omiljenoj lokaciji francuskog plemstva.

Slični događaji danas se održavaju i u Milanu, Londonu, Barseloni, ali i pojedinim gradovima u SAD i Kanadi, prenosi “Dejli mejl”. Ipak, samo pariska “Večera u belom” se smatra originalnom.

Organizatori kažu da svake godine broj prisutnih raste, a ovoga puta bilo ih je oko 15.000. Na spisku zvanica možete se naći jedino ako ste i ranije prisustvovali večeri, ili ako vas je lično pozvao neko ko jeste. Ako se jednom ne pojavite, više vas neće zvati na ovaj događaj.

Muškarci i žene sede na suprotnim stranama stola, a niko ne sme da počne sa jelom dok se svi gosti ne smeste. Gozba traje do ponoći, kada je svaki gost u obavezi da počisti za sobom.

Parisians sneak out en masse for dinner under Eiffel Tower — People, all dressed in white, have a dinner on June 13, 2013, on the Trocadero square in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The venue of the 25th edition of the annual “dinner in white” is kept secret from the Paris authorities, and the invited participants are only told where they are to gather earlier in the evening.

Imagine walking into the courtyard of the Louvre and suddenly spotting thousands of people busily preparing for one of the world’s largest al fresco dinner parties. You would think that it would be chaotic, but it’s not. Part of the cachet of the Dîner en Blanc is that not anyone, not even the official guests, are told the location of the dinner until a mere thirty minutes before the event. All of the guests are familiar with the rules governing the event and know exactly what must be done before the celebration can begin. For example, invitees must arrive and depart by bus or organized public transportation, allocate seats in a very specific manner, with men on one side and women on the other, and take all of their trash away with them when they leave. The diners must enhance the value of the public space by charming passersby with the unexpected rather than detracting from it. And, most incredibly, it works.

The organizers divided this year’s group into two to accommodate more than 11,000 participants – the Dîner en Blanc at the Louvre and on the Trocadero square in front of the Eiffel Tower. Shortly before 11:00 pm, thousands of people stood in unison and raised sparklers towards the sky just as the Eiffel Tower started to sparkle.
