We are thrilled to share the joyous moments of our Winter Ball, a night filled with enchantment, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. It was a magical evening.

As the night unfolded, the entire house came alive with the twinkle of fairy lights and the sound of music echoing through the halls.

From the exquisite gowns to the stylish suits, everyone radiated a sense of glamour and sophistication. The Winter Ball was not just a celebration of the season but also a celebration of the unity and camaraderie that binds us together as a community.

Dancing under the soft glow of winter stars, we reveled in the beauty of the moment, cherishing the bonds that have been formed within these walls. The laughter, the joy, and the shared experiences of the night will undoubtedly linger in our hearts for years to come.

To all the girls who made this night truly special, you were all stunning. Here’s to the magic of winter and the warmth of shared moments. Until the next celebration, may the glow of this extraordinary night continue to light our days.

Every December, Geneva honors L’Escalade, remembering the thwarting of a Catholic Savoyard attempt to conquer the Protestant city.

The celebration includes diverse traditions, such as breaking the “marmite de l’Escalade,” a chocolate cauldron filled with marzipan sweets. The eldest and youngest participants unite, striking the cauldron together to unveil the hidden treats inside.

The youngest member of the household is Bella, and the eldest is Lola. With great enthusiasm, they joined hands to break the chocolate cauldron.

Best wishes,

This weekend was nothing short of thrilling for our girls! Filled with an array of activities, they had the chance to expend their energy in various exciting ways.

They kicked off with invigorating tennis matches that not only showcased skill but also sportsmanship. Equestrian enthusiasts among them enjoyed a delightful afternoon of horseback riding.

In the realm of fitness, the girls participated in a session of body-shaping and stretching/relaxation, allowing everyone to unwind and recharge for the upcoming week.

But the excitement didn’t end there! Our girls also headed to the cinema for a cinematic treat. Some opted for the heartwarming story in “Wish,” while others embarked on the thrilling journey of “Hunger Games.”

Best wishes,

Villa du Lac Team 😊
