Levee (event)
The levee was a practice at the French and other royal courts in the 17th and 18th centuries. Courtiers attending it would receive an audience from the king while he sat up in bed. The term has more recently been applied to a public event held on New Year's Day by a town's mayor and council to greet the townspeople.
