French Heritage Summer Soiree, PROVENCE!
C’était une soirée tout droit sortie d’un rêve provençal.
(It was an evening straight out of a Provençal dream.)
“The most elegant summer event I look forward to planning each and every year—a celebration that truly transports you to France.”
For the third consecutive year, we had the honor of planning the prestigious French Heritage Society summer event in the Hamptons. Every year, this celebration feels like a passport to France, and this year we wanted to transport guests somewhere new.
Inspired by the charm of Provence and the effortless elegance of the French coast, we transformed the beautiful Fishel Estate in Bridgehampton into an immersive French escape. From the moment guests arrived, they were greeted by the fragrant scent of fresh lavender, vibrant lemon-yellow blooms, and music that instantly transported them to the South of France.

We were thrilled to once again bring this beautiful vision to life alongside board members: Maria Fishel, Ann Van Ness, Rosann Guzman along with Director of Events Jennifer Herlein.
Back at the Fishel Estate, Christolfe’s generosity and gleaming silvers brought the evening to life with timeless elegance. This year, we were also honored to partner with Baccarat, adding another layer of iconic French luxury to the experience. Together, these two French houses add such sophistication, setting the perfect tablescape fit for a celebrity!
Having access to Baccarat's exquisitely crafted crystal was truly a dream. Sparkling barware, elegant crystal vases, and a thoughtfully curated table settings created the perfect backdrop for a romantic countryside lunch or dinner, celebrating the beauty of French craftsmanship in every detail.
This year's attendance was our highest yet, a testament to the excitement and anticipation this event continues to generate year after year. It is incredibly rewarding to see this gathering grow into one of the most anticipated and beloved evenings of the Hamptons summer season.
The French Heritage Society is dedicated to preserving France’s architectural and cultural treasures while fostering French-American friendship through restoration grants, educational programs, and cultural initiatives. Their work helps protect historic landmarks, gardens, and monuments for future generations while celebrating the enduring beauty of French heritage.
Take a look inside one of the most enchanting summer evenings of the season. We hope you'll join us next year for another unforgettable celebration of French culture, craftsmanship, and the timeless art de vivre.
At Revel Rouge, we are incredibly grateful for the lasting partnerships that inspire us to create experiences that feel fresh, innovative, and authentic.
