Featuring Le Carrousel Parisien

A whimsical centerpiece of Un Noël Enchanté, the carousel originally created by Glitterville’s Stephen Brown for the White House’s 2024 Blue Room Christmas display will be reimagined in Cheekwood’s Loggia, surrounded by festive trees, wreaths, and a magnificent vintage-style hot air balloon by Ohio artist Studio Cera Marie, evoking the romance and wonder of Belle Époque Paris.

In Collaboration with Celebrated French Houses

Collaborations with some of France’s most celebrated houses bring another dimension to the project, connecting the Mansion’s holiday transformation with living traditions of French craftsmanship, decorative arts, hospitality, and savoir-faire. Baccarat brings the brilliance of French crystal and Arcadia tableware to holiday tables and entertaining scenes throughout the Mansion. Le Meurice, the celebrated Paris palace hotel, brings the world of French hospitality into the story of Un Noël Enchanté. French antiques and furnishings specially loaned for the exhibition further enrich the Mansion’s interiors.
