A glam flashmob of 5000 clad all in white invaded Paris' Concorde square late on Thursday for a surprise sit-down dinner on the street in one of the city's most picturesque locations.

Within minutes of arriving at the square at the bottom end of the Champs Elysees, the crowd dressed head to toe in white had set up tables, chairs and china plates for a meal washed down with wine and champagne.

"We do this for a laugh every year in June, and always on a Thursday," said Nicolas Godard, adding that the location was texted to participants at the last moment.

"It's an elegant rendezvous aimed at enjoying French art de vivre", said another diner named Helene.

The organisation, she added, "is very military. We come with rubbish-bags, clean up at midnight and leave everything spotless, as if we'd never been here".

Last year's event took place on the Champs Elysees and the 2007 dinner party at the landmark Arc de Triomphe.
