Réveil

Réveil (French:revival or Awakening) was an 1814 revival movement within the Swiss Reformed Church of Western Switzerland and Southern France .

The supporters were also called pejoratively momiers. The movement was initially under the influence of Barbara von Krüdener and later British Methodists and members of Free Church of Scotland who came to the Continent after Napoleon's fall. They accused the Protestant state church of apostasy from true Christianity, they gathered in conventicles and laid emphasis on a strict religious way of life.
