So, as you may know-this past weekend, we partnered with Maison Francaise to bring you 2 nights of great French (and American) music, live art installations, all the feathers we could find in the tri-state area, macarons and duck confit pizzas and more. The weekend was such a ridiculous success that we have not 1 but 2 photo sets coming up your way today in hopes of summing it all up. What you see below is Saturday, and FRIDAY PHOTOS CAN BE FOUND HERE (with the 1000+ photo booth photos going up tomorrow, we promise).

So, before we dive into the photos, which I am sure you are VERY excited to peruse, the usual thank yous. For Friday:
