For over two hundred years France and the United States have enjoyed a relationship unparalleled in world history. The White House Historical Association, together with the Embassy of France, highlighted this remarkable historic relationship by organizing a full-day symposium, culinary experience, and cultural event. France in the White House: A Conversation on Historical Perspectives, the second of a series of internationally themed symposia planned through 2018, was held on May 4, 2017. This full-day educational symposium included a unique culinary experience, and French music, inspired by historic White House performances.
