Wonderful evening hosted by ‘The Guy’ of Les Contamines. Pizza’s were fabulous and we sampled digestives until we could no more. Thank you Davey.

Had the fondue dish, not the usual raclette, far more then I would normally eat but it was delicious. Followed by the fondant chocolate dessert. Really enjoyed it.
