This year, we are celebrating the 57th anniversary of the Bailliage of Greater Washington. Bertrand de Boutray, Bailli Délégué des États-Unis (National Chaîne President) will be our inducting officer.

The Willard is one of Washington’s most historic and beautiful venues. and is positively resplendent decorated for the holidays. Our Champagne reception and exquisite multi-course dinner will be in the Crystal Room, known for its rich architecture and elegance.

Our own Maître Hôtelier Markus Platzer, General Manager of the Willard, Maître Restaurateur Julia Rapley, Director of Catering and Event Planning, and Maître Rôtisseur Luca de Marchis, The Willard’s Food and Beverage Director, are making sure that this is a holiday event to remember. It promises to be a fitting celebration of another fabulous year for the bailliage.
