Was gonna go with the owl irish send off but can't be doing that too them they have bin with us a good while now I'd say there sick of irish stuff.

"A good french wine is chateau de pape, is a bit expensive "

Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a beautiful red wine it can have up to 13 grape varieties blended in it,in my experience it's best to read the back of the bottle and go for one which has less in it maybe only a blend of 3 -5 grape types.A good alternative to it would be a bottle of Côtes du Rhône in the €15 price range,Aldi are doing some pleasant wines at good prices these days I hear.Decant the wine into a jug and as you p[our splosh it in it will get air into it which will bring out the aromas and serve at room temperature.

As for the food side of things 2 very simple dishes to make are coq au vin or cassoulet,I'd go for a light white wine in the coq dish if your going to serve the red wine at the table too.

Why not get the students involved with the cooking and you will pick up a few tips from them.Bon appétit.

Hi. I am French but 40 so I may not be helpful. I suggest if they are young but over 18: nice wines, few beers, finger food, bbq or a simple sirloin with chips but rare. At the end they may only want to party. Enjoy...

You've to purge them for a few days before cooking them, otherwise you'll need a trip to A&E

maybe instead of french food, serve them nice traditional irish food but modernised. they are in ireland after all and want to experience everything irish.

lamb

potatoe cakes with butchers black pud and smolked salmon etc

look up nevin mcguire, he really does great contemporary irish food

Being French myself I may be in a good position to answer your question

I'm actually pretty familiar to this situation as the exact opposite happens to me every time I go back to France. When I visit my brother he always offers me a can of guinness for the 'aperitif' in an attempt to please me even though I've already told him that I get much better guinness any time I want from my local pub. I believe that if you try to cook these guys something French you would be doing exactly the same as my brother. Keep it Irish! It's what you know best and it is what they were looking for coming here (son they'll be back in France and won't find Irish stuff anymore). I'm sure they never had any crisps sandwich or chees and onions crisps chocolate
