Menu Ideas?

Bonjour!
So...my daughter is graduating from high school and has requested that I prepare a luncheon for all of her Francophile friends! She would like a classic multi-course meal... I am thinking 8 (courses) or so is dramatic enough but still reasonable...And one of the girls is a vegetarian, but not vegan. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
