LE ROSTACHON

Well we decided to go out for lunch today with a friend of ours who said he'd found a little gem of a restaurant and boy was he right.  If the food was not good it wouldn't have mattered because the view of the Mont Blanc was incredible but the food was just as good as the view so it was perfect.  We sat outside 5C but the sun was warm and we had a tartiflette each - potatoes and bacon cooked in Savoie white wine and drowned in Reblechon (cheese). mmmmmmmm

 Seb and Manu suntanning

 Mont Blanc in all its splendour

The complete view

 Just a little pate, saucisson and Jambon sec to share for starters

 That's my Pelle it's called, and it's one each - steaming hot and cheesy, you are meant to eat this after hiking up to the restaurant and then snowshoe it down to work it off but ALAS no snow, what a shame.

Dessert and I was beaten couldn't eat it so my better half helped out of course........

 Manu tucking in

The happy couple

I had to include this, this is one of two chalets on one property, currently for sale at the generous price of 60 million euros.  Yip you heard correctly, it is the most expensive property in Megeve, owned by a Russian.  Imagine the commison on the sale you wouldn't have to work again.  Doesn't look so impressive from outside but it's whats inside that counts.

And finally to end the day I fetched the kids and took them for a walk to rid my thighs of cheese mainly, but the snow guns have been running all morning and we have a little mound of snow building on the Piste.  Still no snow here, but it's -6C every morning and a max of 8C in the day so it's cool, just not enough humidity to snow.  I'm sure its coming.

 Ben rolling down the mound this evening, it was only 5pm already dark.

The snow gun, it sprays a fine spray of water and the air freezes it into snow.
