BAV Christmas Lunch - 4th December 2021
BYO Boules Lunch

The BAV has a very active Event calendar with something happening most months throughout the year. Undoubtably the most memorable of these is our annual Vendange lunch, which is normally held in a Vineyard restaurant in September to celebrate the grape harvesting. Close behind this is our annual Christmas lunch which typically attracts over 60 guests for a pre-Christmas get together.

In addition to these annual lunches, we run a variety of other events across the Var ranging from tours of Perfumeries and Museums to Village walks and Ten pin Bowling. Invariably these events will include lunch at a local restaurant, although members are welcome to attend any event even if not staying for lunch.

    Fréjus/St Raphaël Network event

    On 17 January 2024 at 9.30 we will be taking a guided visit in English of the medieval village of Roquebrune-sur-Argens, including the church and heritage centre with tastings at the chocolate museum and the heritage shop. Duration 2½ hours starting at 9.30. Cost 6€. Maximum 25 people. Optional 3 course lunch arranged at a nearby restaurant, 24€ including 25cl wine and coffee. Please complete the booking form or book online and send the appropriate payment – 6€ or 30€ - depending on if you are having lunch.

    Please note, this is a traditional Provençal village so there will be steps and slopes to climb. Parking is available at the bottom of the hill. We will meet at 9.15 at the entrance to this car park – Parking du Castrum, Bd Jean Jaures. From the north, turn right at the mini roundabout just before the village centre. From the south, the opposite! The car park is on the right.
