【French May 2026】Can you be a "hopeless romantic" without flying to Paris?

Hey neighbours, it's May again! Besides Labour Day and Buddha's Birthday, Hong Kong also has a "pretentiously elegant" grand event—Le French GourMay.

Speaking of the French, there's a classic joke: "Why do the French only use one egg to make an omelette?" "Because one egg is 'un œuf' (enough)!" (Not funny? No worries, this kind of dry humour is the essence of French romance.)

【2026 French May: What to do? Where to go?】 This year's theme is Savoie, the French Alps region. The focus isn't the Eiffel Tower, but snowy mountains, cheese, and white wine that can get you tipsy.

  • Event Dates: May 1 to May 31, 2026 (a whole month of feasting!).

  • Location: Over 100 restaurants and retailers across Hong Kong.

  • Highlights: To soak in the atmosphere, be sure to visit the French traditional market at Central Market. Then there's "Happy French Wednesday" at Happy Valley Racecourse, where you can watch horse racing while sipping red wine – a perfect blend of East and West.

【Three Must-See Exhibitors: What amazing works do they have?】

  1. DALLOYAU (Royal-level Desserts)

    • Amazing Work: Gâteau de Savoie. This royal brand, with over 300 years of history, is infusing the air (and herbal notes) of the Alps into its macarons and cakes this year. Every bite feels like indulging in a "royal afternoon tea," exuding sophistication!

  2. 1664 (Synonym for French Chill Life)

    • Amazing Work: 1664 Blanc Beer Pairing. Their brilliance lies in teaching you how to use a citrus-infused beer to cut through the richness of cheese fondue. Sipping on ice-cold beer while enjoying Savoie cheese is truly "better than winning the lottery."

  3. Qura Bar @ Regent Hong Kong

    • Amazing Work: Savoyard Gastronomy Four-Course Menu. The most impressive is their slow-cooked Alpine cheese dish. Enjoying a mountain-inspired meal with a view of Victoria Harbour—this contradictory romance can only be found in Hong Kong.

【But...we are Hongkongers!】 Frankly, romance comes at a price, and that is – slowness. The French can have a meal from noon until dark. If you're like me, wanting to experience French life but lacking the patience to wait for slow shipping, what do you do? This is when our Hong Kong saviour comes in – "ManyMart”!

【ManyMart: Local Curation King, Unbelievably Fast!】 ManyMart is not just a local Hong Kong shopping website; it's a godsend for us "efficiency-seeking romantics":

  • Logistics that will shock you with speed: While the French are still debating the elegance of a wine's tannins, ManyMart has already delivered your order to your doorstep. In Hong Kong, time is money, and the time ManyMart saves you is enough for you to slowly savour two more bottles of red wine.

  • Unexpectedly delightful selection: The best thing here is that their items are far from ordinary. Browsing feels like a treasure hunt, and you'll always find interesting goodies that make you think, **"Oh, they have that too?"** This sense of surprise perfectly matches our Hong Kong mindset of being "unique, fast, and smart" at the same time.

Want to experience this French May differently? Sip French red wine while discovering surprises on ManyMart online – this "Franco-Hong Kong" lifestyle is the true way to enjoy life!
