French term or phrase: un après
Hi,

Would this be after-party? and if it is can I just put "an after"?

"la terrasse sera animée tout au long de l’hiver par un dj, pour d’inoubliables et festifs après- accompagnés d’appétissants petits-fours. "

the terrace will be *hosted* by a dj the whole winter for unforgettable festive afters with delicious petit-fours

Thank you in advance

neutral  writeaway: but petits fours and après-ski? And don't people ski in the afternoon? Isn't après-ski later on?

  -> thanks
agree  Kelly Harrison: Aprés is any time people stop skiing and start drinking/socialising/sitting on the terrace in the sun - for many this can be as early as midday, having spent a tiring morning having lessons.

  -> 'Après ski' is used in English and for a marketing text targeted to tourists to the French Alps entirely appropriate, even a plus, for marketing purposes.

after ski
animation après-ski


Explanation:
vous devez faire précéder le terme après-ski d'un terme indiquant qu'il s'agit d'une animation (d'une party) sinon, on le confond avec le terme après-ski désignant plus communément la chaussure après-ski
