First of all, the decoration of the festive table passes by the choice of a tablecloth. You do not have to put one. All the same you can decorate the center of your table with a small square, rectangular or oval tablecloth. Oilcloth tablecloths are not very aesthetic. Preferably, opt for a cotton or wool tablecloth. If you want to avoid the appearance of tasks on your design table, you can have a fleece before extending the tablecloth. In addition, the fleece will dampen the sounds of plates and glasses.

Do you know how to place your cutlery in the proper way? In France, you put the forks on the left with the tips down. In England, you have to put the tips of the fork in the air. This is one of the major differences between the English way of serving and the French way of serving. The knife is on the right and the sharp side is placed facing the plate. The spoon and the cheese knife are placed either at the beginning of the meal at the top of the plate for the friendly and informal meals, or they are brought at the same time as the dessert during the formal meals. It is very important to place the cutlery according to the order of use. The cutlery that is used first must be placed the outermost of the plate. Conversely, the cutlery that will be used last should be placed closest to the plate.
