Apéro à la française
This week, we’re sitting at a French terrace and enjoying a staple of French culture… Vive l’apéro ! 🍹
The French apéritif is more than just a pre-dinner or a pre-lunch drink. It involves several drinks, such as kir or our famous pastis of course, but also a varied selection of nibbles, like les gâteaux apéritif, le saucisson, les petits-fours… And it can turn into an actual tapas-style dinner, the beloved apéritif dînatoire 🤤
Alors, sans plus attendre, let’s raise our glasses to the French Kwiziq content we’ve selected for you!
(And remember to drink responsibly)
Quote me on this!
Anonymous (but French!) author
When spending some time among native French people, you’ll soon discover how the apéritif is an integral part of life. Enjoy the following quote celebrating this friendly “happy hour”:
“L’amitié, c’est comme l’apéro : plus c’est long, plus c’est bon.”
(Friendship is like apéritif: the longer it lasts, the better it is.)

“Cet été en France, on a pris l’apéro tous les jours ! Peter a découvert le pastis avec des glaçons. Il aimait le rituel de verser l’eau dans l’apéritif anisé, et de regarder le tout se mélanger et prendre sa couleur crémeuse. Moi, je sirotais mon mojito en dévorant les gâteaux apéritif !”
À vous de jouer !
