BA Luncheon - Brasserie Pampérigouste - La Turbie

THURSDAY 18 JUNE 2026
LUNCHEON 12:00

Brasserie Pampérigouste - 17 Pl. Neuve, 06320 La Turbie

The June BA lunch is at the Pamperigous in La Turbie on 18th June at 12.00.  Many of you came to the last lunch there in November and were very impressed.  Hopefully the weather will be better so more of you can take advantage of a visit to our famous trophy.  I understand the views are spectacular although it is a climb.  I am ashamed to say I have still not visited.  It is also market day, which although not huge, is busy so maybe a coffee in the sun,  watching the world go by.

La Turbie is very easy to get to by car and despite the market there should be plenty of parking.

The 11a to La Turbie Marie bus leaves from opposite the top of Monaco train station, at 10.12 and 11.32.  This bus also leaves the Office de Tourism in Monaco (just opposite where the 600 will drop you off) at 10.14 and 11.34.

The menu is as follows, euro 43 for members, 46 for non members.

Coupe de proseco
Pissaladière 

Planche de charcuterie et fromage

Osso buco de dinde avec légume et pomme de terre
Ou
Filet de poisson frais avec légumes et pomme de terre

Tarte tatin avec boule de glace vanille et chantilly

Eau filtrée plate et gazeuse
1/4 de vin 
Café ou thé


Hope to see you there.  Payment can be made by cheque sent to:
BADDELEY, Pont du Faisse, 06440 Peille or by cheque or cash given to one of our committee members at coffee mornings etc or by bank tx.  Details on the website.

May Soiree Hippy in Gorbio 8pm

A Hippy Evening at Salle Henri Monin. Apparently, it’s less than  4 km from Menton, in direction Gorbio.

Let me know, if you would like to attend and we’ll arrange a table. At the moment, we have 5 members interested.

If car share doesn’t work. An Uber or Bolt will drop you off cheaply and pick you up again.

I would need to let the organisers know one week before the event, if you would like to make up a table. Dressing up in hippy gear might  be fun, but it is not compulsary.
