BASTILLE NIGHT AT VATEL!

 

 Saturday 12 July 2025

 

Bastille Day is fast approaching, and we will keep with the tradition, once again, of making it a memorable and fun night of fine food and entertainment with our musicians Peter and Mary from Viva the Duo!

In this doomed and gloomed time that we sometime face in our first quarter of the twenty first century

I would like to take you all back in an Era characterized by a sense of optimism and progress…

LA BELLE EPOQUE!
(1871-1914)

In 1889 le Moulin Rouge was the birth place of a new form of danse… Le Can Can danse!

We look forward to watch our friendly competitors in ore as they perform for us all to enjoy!

You are welcome to join us from 6.30/6.45 for 7.00 pm start

Booking is essential. SMS Philippe on 0419 636 304 (even number of guests at table preferred)

Looking forward to seeing you all again!

We will send you a text for you to confirm your booking and number of guests the day before.
