The housewarming party has its roots in the medieval period. Centuries ago, those who contributed to the work on a new house were all invited to celebrate the inhabitants' move in with a thank you meal. To cook the food that was served at this party, it was customary to hang the pot over the fire with a notched iron rod: the rack. This tradition has been passed on from generation to generation and has become the party among friends that we know today. While it is no longer necessary to have been involved in the construction of the house to be invited to a housewarming party, it has become common practice to make a contribution to the building by giving the new occupants a gift. This can be something useful to furnish the new home, or simply a gift that marks the festive dimension of the event, such as a bottle of champagne, exquisite chocolates or delicious macarons!
