Spring is right around the corner...
The International Day of Happiness takes place on March 20th each year and coincides with the arrival of spring.
A happy coincidence because obviously spring is one of the happiest seasons!
And it is in that same joyful spirit that Disciples Escoffier from all around the world gathered, as usual, to share convivial moments.
Check out their news:
