What is Réveillon?

Réveillon is like having a super fun party before bedtime that helps you get ready for sleep.

Réveillon is a special tradition from France where people have a big celebration right before going to bed on New Year's Eve, which is the night before January 1st. It’s kind of like your favorite bedtime story, but with food, music, and lots of friends or family around you.

During Réveillon, people often eat a special meal together, it might be something like a big dinner with tasty dishes like crepes or biscuits, which are like the cookies you love. They also sing songs, maybe even dance a little bit, and have fun with each other.

After the party, people usually go to bed early because they’re tired from all the fun. But before they fall asleep, they might say "Bonne nuit!", which means "Good night!" in French, it’s like saying "Sweet dreams!" or "See you tomorrow!"

So Réveillon is a warm and happy way to celebrate the end of one year and welcome the next, all while getting ready for a good rest.
