In few words
Year-end greetings in the professional world are far more than a formality. They are a true reflection of your company’s values : a moment of gratitude, recognition, and inspiration for your talents. They’re an opportunity to: celebrate your collective successes, strengthen team spirit and cohesion, share the values that drive you, and look to the future with optimism and ambition.
Why organise year-end celebrations at work?
As the festive season approaches, many companies feel the need to celebrate achievements while strengthening the human bonds that make their organisation thrive.
Expressing your best wishes in an exceptional setting means offering far more than a simple message — it’s a way to show genuine appreciation, create lasting memories, and bring people closer together.
Imagine your teams welcomed into a warm, elegant house, thoughtfully decorated for the holidays. A place where every detail evokes the joy of the season : a generous table, delicious dishes, and shared laughter that turn an evening into something unforgettable. That setting exists. It’s the promise of our Houses, where each celebration becomes a moment of connection, emotion, and collective pride.
A unique setting for memorable professional greetings
Our Houses welcome you into exceptional venues, each dressed in its festive best at the end of the year. What makes the difference? Personalisation. Whether you choose a cocktail dinner in an intimate lounge, a creative culinary workshop beneath a glass roof, or a gala dinner in the grand salon of a château, every format becomes a bespoke celebration — yours.
In the city, our Private Tables in Paris - Vertume, Terres, or Pigment - offer refined gastronomy where flavours and cultures meet.
It’s a culinary journey blending tradition and modernity, offering your teams an experience they’ll remember, for both the taste and the emotion shared.
Making your wishes truly memorable
Year-end greetings should be more than a simple “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays.” To make them truly stand out, consider a few thoughtful touches:
- Personalise your messages: A handwritten note in a digital world makes a real impression - as does a few heartfelt words from your leader or a short, inspiring video recap.
- Offer thoughtful gifts: Gourmet hampers, inspiring books, or small surprises go a long way.
- Create a festive atmosphere: Live music, participatory activities, friendly team challenges, or even Christmas decorations can bring everyone together in the spirit of celebration.
Need inspiration? Here are a few message ideas:
- “This year, you’ve been the architects of our success. May 2026 bring you as much joy as you’ve shared around you. Thank you for your dedication.”
- “As this year comes to an end, we welcome you to this exceptional venue to celebrate what unites us. May this festive moment inspire and rejuvenate you.”
And for the organisation? A few golden tips:
- Plan ahead: Book your Maison early to ensure availability and full customisation.
- Pick the right moment: Before Christmas or just after, in early January — choose what fits your schedule best.
- Surprise your teams: With an unexpected theme, a heartfelt message, or a unique activity.
- Be authentic: A few sincere words will always resonate more than a formal speech.
- Foster connection: Prioritise shared memories, open conversations, and joyful moments together.
- Offer more than an event — offer a human adventure!
In a world that’s constantly evolving, moments of pause, gratitude, and celebration are essential to nurture strong, lasting bonds.
Expressing your best wishes in an exceptional venue means offering your teams a truly meaningful experience, a festive interlude that celebrates the journey so far and sets the tone for what’s to come.
It’s a time to acknowledge achievements, learn from challenges, and rally everyone around future goals. Year-end greetings aren’t just words, they’re gestures, attention, and shared memories.
By choosing one of our Maisons for your celebrations, you’re choosing authenticity, quality, and emotion. Offer your teams an event that reflects who you are, in a venue designed to elevate your message and make it shine!
