Early Decoder Christmas
Posted on December 12, 2006 by Ailbhe Phelan
Saturday 25th November saw the Decodees start off the Christmas season in style by heading off to Paris on Eurostar for the annual visit.
This year our numbers were drastically reduced at the last minute when Nick called in sick (and very sad not be coming). So Mark, Catherine, Ailbhe and her husband, Tony, had to face the rigours of a day in Paris ‘Nick-less’.
Lunch was at ‘Le Reminet’ a little restaurant hidden down a winding street in the Latin Quarter, a mere stone’s throw from the Seine. Delicious course followed delicious course interspersed with some heady and fragrant wines. After three hours of gourmet gorging we walked off the excess calories by a spot of light Christmas Shopping. Then, laden with goodies, we rested our sore feet at a bar near Nore du Gard before settling into the our Eurostar seats for the journey home.
Our first class return journey ensured even more wining and dining and we arrived in Waterloo with plenty of time to dash off home in time for cricket highlights and cocoa.
Another successful ‘Decoder Christmas Lunch in Gay Paris’. Roll on next year!
