Yesterday, Dr. Dario Silic, Dean of the Paris School of Management (PSM), had the pleasure of attending a distinguished celebration of Beaujolais Nouveau at the Novotel Hotel — an event that beautifully blended French cultural heritage with meaningful business networking.
Each November, France welcomes the arrival of the first young wine of the season, Beaujolais Nouveau, with festivities that span the country and beyond. This year’s celebration at Novotel captured the essence of this beloved tradition: elegance, conviviality, and a shared appreciation for French craftsmanship.
An Evening Among Leading French Corporations
The event brought together representatives from some of France’s most influential companies, including:
- Decathlon
- Bouygues
- AGS
- Air France
- L’Oréal
- Mazars
- Legrand
- Lactalis / Dukat
- SUEZ
…and many others.
Surrounded by a warm and sophisticated atmosphere, guests enjoyed the smooth, fruity notes of this year’s Beaujolais Nouveau, complemented by an array of fine French cuisine. The evening encouraged lively conversation, cultural exchange, and cross-industry insights.
Where Culture Meets Business
While the celebration honored the arrival of France’s newest vintage, it also served a broader purpose: strengthening cooperation among French and international companies. The event provided an inspiring environment for:
- Exploring new business partnerships
- Exchanging ideas and best practices
- Connecting with leaders across diverse industries
- Celebrating cultural traditions that unite communities worldwide
It was a powerful reminder that culture and business naturally complement one another. Events like this create the perfect setting for building relationships, fostering understanding, and expanding international collaboration.
A Memorable Evening of Connections and Culture
The Beaujolais Nouveau celebration was more than an event — it was an experience that showcased the richness of French tradition and the strength of its global business presence. For PSM, it reaffirmed our commitment to engaging with leading organizations and contributing to international dialogue.
A night of great wine, great company, and valuable connections — one that reflects the spirit of PSM and its global outlook.
