Le réveillon is an intimate dinner we host every New Year’s Eve, and it is a special tradition for my family. The word “réveillon” means awakening, and I’ve always loved the concept. It’s an old French custom experiencing a resurgence-in the States for instance, you can’t escape it if visiting New Orleans during the holidays. Regardless of how you ring in the New Year, I hope to inspire your event! I was honored to have our fête featured on Camille Styles-check it out here!

wishing you all a happy new year!!

a huge MERCI to the talented Courtney Apple for capturing the evening so beautifully

Notes

    • yes I love the concept of “awakening” so much…thank you Shelley, and same to you!

  2. You have such a gift Susan! I want to plan a last minute New Year’s meal – one that lasts hours and hours and is appropriately French :) Wishing you and your family a very happy 2014 xx Jess
