Hi, I guess it's time to organize our very first 2011 meet up, isn't it?
This may be a silly idea, but i'll say it anyway.... If someone had a massive canvas-like/tarpaulin-type 'top' of some kind, with eyelets, then perhaps we could tie this against those trees situated near the entrance of Trou Aux Biches public beach ... Read More

Hi everyone, thanks a lot julien for initiating this. Saturday 29 January sounds good and if i got the gist of it, it's "bring&share" and/or each brings his/her own. i'll try to drum up some support here in the west, we'll see what we can do.... Read More

Hi all Can anyone tell me where the best place is to buy reasonable quality towels and sheets for not too much money. Thanks
Adrienne, I would also say Mr. Price at Les Halles in Phoenix. There is also a small specialized shop in Tamarin, just after Riverland sports complex and the bridge, coming from Flic en Flac, the first shops on your right hand side, but the choice ... Read More
Is La Sufren good for a girls night out? by Irish Beach girl
Hi forum Looking for advice on La Suffren Hotel near the Waterfront. I have heard some of you talking about Friday nights there. Would it be good for a bunch of women to have dinner/drinks/dance? Thanks
Le Suffren can be good - or it can be so so. I've seen both. On busy nights it's got ambiance and is good for socializing and getting to know new people (superficially), but when it's slow it only has the location on the water going for it. You just ... Read More
