Sunday evening saw Pats Birthday celebrations commence with a meal at the 'Grand Ourse' restaurant. She was joined by her close friends and family and the party numbered 24 in total. With such a large group, they were placed upstairs in the mezzanine level which accommodated them all perfectly.
The Grand Ourse was built in 1937 and has prime location on the snowfront, nestled nicely between the Solaise and Bellevarde mountains, it's a sun trap when the sun shines, and also avoids the wind on those blustery days, perfect for all conditions really! It's a listed building due to frescos in the dining room by the French painter 'Fautrier'.
The meal was fantastic, as is always the case at the Grand Ourse and a jolly time was had by all.
Pat is pictured to the right in the picture, Deborah is central and to the right we have Olivia. Olivias other half, Peter, was posted a few weeks ago having attended our 'Finlays Drinks Evening'. Peter and Olivia met during a Finlays holiday a number of years ago whilst staying in Chalet Echo, not a totally unsimilar situation to Richard and Deborahs meeting and romance, but that's a story for Richard to post!!
