I’m Lara Bataille, a French event professional and cultural researcher based in New York.

Through Bataille Insights, I explore how traditions, etiquette, gastronomy, and local customs influence the way people experience brands, destinations, and events.

Whether it’s understanding why the French linger around the dinner table, how regional cuisine tells a story, or what hospitality looks like across cultures, my goal is simple:

to transform cultural knowledge into inspiration for event professionals, marketers, and anyone creating meaningful experiences.
