A murky day in Val d'Isere, snow was abundant and the skies a gloomy shade of grey, lucky for us, we'd arranged a lunch date in Les Coches with Richards neice, Catherine.The hours drive over to Les Coches made no difference to the weather conditions, we arrived there to discover rain!
However, it wasnt raining in the restaurant, even though it had been recommended to us as it's supposedly a great place to sit on the terrace in the sun! Hmmmm.
It was very nice inside though, the food was the standard alpine fare, pizza, pasta, salads etc etc, servings were generous and the price seemed a bargain compared to what we're used to in Val. Thanks to Andrew who smuggled away the bill before we could assess the damage and hunt through our wallets for euros.
After several hours of munching and drinking, the clouds had parted to reveal patches of blue sky and a hint of sunshine, we bid goodbye to our dining companions and off they went skiing back over to La Plagne and we set off for home.
Views are always great from Les Coches, it looked spiffing driving down the hairpins today with all the low cloud in the valley, photo worthy indeed.
A very fine day out!!
