Once a stop to the efforts coming from the lower valley of the River Arve and en route to Switzerland, the bar Le Brévent today welcomes another type of clientele, still exhausted and thirsting, but rather more exotic: the Anglo-Saxons! As often in Chamonix, the British clientele is a queen in this blend lieu, skilfully taken over by Gary, the boss, who fell in love with Mont Blanc massif like so many other friends of the Manche. And that is all the better: The bar Le Brévent is a special atmosphere, which is only too rarely found in Chamonix. As a district bar used by time and seasons but where the counter always open, the chimney fire always lit and the new regulars still filled somewhere succeeds in keeping the memory of the well-awake place. We feel well, around a pint of beer shared with the customers of Gîte Le Vagabond on the floor, or sitting in front of a tartiflette or a cheese crust. The clientele is cosmopolitan and warm and bright faces. As for prices, they are disconcerting disconcerting: 3 € the happy pint of beer! The bar has just won its new visitors.
