7 April
A subscriber has remarked that whilst snow, skiing and young ladies in jacuzzis are all very well, what he really wanted to be reminded of was Val d'Isère's wonderful food and drink! So here are our photographer's elevenses on his daily constitutional up the Manchet Valley. A delicious crêpe and a vin chaud at the Bout du Monde (off cardboard, of course, since only takeaway is allowed).
We had to convince the natives that pancakes are eaten with lemon and sugar - not chestnut paste or Nutella or any of the other bizarre concoctions they ruin them with - but now everybody's enjoying Le Pancake Britannique!
It's nice to be able to bring something to the French apart from the English Variant...
