TO UNITEMore than ever ! WATCH THE FILM Their names are Noan, Hugo, Thomas, Laïa and Romy
and they are five of the small customers at our stores in Reunion Island.
It's true that getting together to party isn't exactly the flavour of the month... But, for this fourth edition, we would like to share with you the experience our kids, Noan, Romy, Laïa, Hugo and Thomas enjoyed, because we have to stay positive! So let's escape together, and head for the Island of La Reunion!
When was the last time you threw a party?Having a party increases the feeling of well-being by 21%! We were looking for an iconic place to explore different festive cultures, where we could enjoy good company, simple and spontaneous, while we made the most of the sunshine we were looking forward to seeing again. Réunion was the obvious choice.
starting point Latitude Fruitière Orchard

A party means food and dessert! Because planning a party starts with the choice of ingredients. And we wanted ours to be really tasty!
To start our adventure, we went to an orchard to look for the basis of our dessert: good fresh seasonal fruit! But look, these are not ordinary fruits, but completely amazing ones, and we discovered them with Samuel's help. He shared his passion with us and helped us to explore new flavours. He explained his approach and his commitment to preserving a wealth of fruit. We decided all this deserved a closer look.

Now that we had picked all this fruit, we had to prepare it.
Before they played at being little chefs, our kids took some time to enjoy the spectacular beauty of their natural surroundings. We told ourselves that this is how our party should start, opening our eyes to new things and laughing ourselves silly.
And then we got ready to eat for real. We met Larissa, winner of the TV show "Tous en Cuisine", and we shared a lot more than just a cookery workshop with her:
We really got our teeth into the task!
She taught us to treat the fruits, freshly picked that morning, with care and to enhance them, to the point of making them irresistible. Our four kids created, sculpted and above all had fun!
It felt as if Larissa was giving us the recipe for happiness. Or how, by taking great care over the simplest produce, we can achieve a result worthy of the greatest chefs. Thank you, Larissa!

the party The Villa Laurina
And then comes the long-awaited party, time to let go and enjoy each other's company.
Letting ourselves be carried away by the music. It feels so good. Free spirited. Have you noticed how parties are so much easier when the children are in charge?
We wanted this one to be as simple as possible for our four kids. The rhythm of Maloya, the soul music of Réunion Island, mixed with the laughter of the children. That's all it took to make this party perfect!
