A formally set dinner table for one, with two forks, a knife, a folded napkin and a glass of wine

The only French table manners course
that quizzes you

So you sit down at a formal dinner knowing, not hoping, you have it right.

For the dinner where it suddenly
matters

Maison Manners is built for the rising professional, roughly 22 to 35, recently in a job or a role where dinners matter: client dinners, business trips, company galas, a first dinner with a partner's family.

It is a guided online course on French table manners, in English and French, built as short chapters you can finish between meetings.

How Maison Manners works

No modules to hunt for, no filler. Six chapters stand between where you are now and a table you walk into with your shoulders down.

Step 1

Work through six short chapters

Forks and knives, eating properly, the dos and don’ts, what to drink, the napkin, and how to carry yourself.

Step 2

Take the quiz after each one

A short quiz closes every chapter, so you know what you’ve actually learned, not just what you skimmed.

Step 3

Finish with your certificate

Lifetime access to every chapter and quiz, in English and French, and a certificate once you’ve completed them all.

Chapter 1

Holding the fork and knife

Where your hands go, how much pressure to use, and how to stop looking like you’re gripping a pencil. The part everyone notices first, and the part no one ever taught you.

Chapter 2

Eating properly

Pace, portion size, and what to do with your hands between bites. Small, quiet habits that separate someone at ease from someone getting through it.

Chapter 3

The dos and don’ts

What is expected without being said: when to start, where cutlery rests mid-course, and the handful of small moves that read as careless if you miss them.

Chapter 4

When and what to drink

What gets poured, when, and how to follow along without a second thought, so the glass in your hand never gives you away.

Nobody at that table is grading your French.
They're watching your hands.

Using the napkin

When it moves, where it lives on your lap, and what it signals when you set it down. One small piece of linen, read closely by everyone at the table.

How to carry yourself

Posture, conversation, and the quiet confidence that makes the rest look effortless, the chapter that ties every earlier one together.
