Noces d’argent d’Elisabeth et de Pierre Baissac
Pour leur 25e anniversaire de mariage, Elisabeth et Pierre avaient invité dans leur maison de Vacoas une quarantaine de personnes, parents et amis. Les Baissac savent bien recevoir et perpétuent en cela la tradition familiale de Saint-Antoine et de Mesnil-aux-Roses : un dîner cocktail de qualité, une ambiance informelle et chaleureuse, le tout dans un jardin tropical illuminé, sous une voûte impressionnante de palmiers vieux de 150 ans et hauts de près de 25 mètres.
Anne Baissac, la soeur de Pierre, avait fait le déplacement pour la circonstance depuis la Réunion.
Au cours de la soirée, Elisabeth évoqua avec naturel et humour lors d’un speech émouvant, le long cheminement de leurs rencontres successives jusqu’à l’heureuse conclusion de leur mariage.

Elizabeth and Pierre Baissac’s Silver Wedding Anniversary:
Elizabeth and Pierre Baissac (Alix<Marc<Pierre-Edmond and Lucie) celebrated their silver wedding anniversary by inviting about forty family and friends to their home in Vacoas. Pierre and Elizabeth entertain exceedingly well following the traditions of Sainte Antoine and Ménil-aux-Roses: cocktails followed by a first rate dinner in a convivial and informal ambience in the setting of an illuminated tropical garden under the impressive vault of 150 year old palms, 25 meters high.
Anne Baissac, Pierre’s sister had come from Réunion for the occasion.
During the evening Elizabeth spoke naturally with humour in a moving speech of the long road, taking them through successive meetings eventually concluding in their happy marriage.
Translators Note:
This must have been a very special occasion. Pierre and Anne were brought up at Ménil-aux-Roses. Pierre’s aunt Mado was present as well as many cousins, Mado’s son David Ardill and his wife Nelly as well as Anne’s daughters who live in Mauritius. We have to thank Pierre for taking a lead in restoring the Family graves in Port Louis. I am specially pleased to see photos of Jean-Pierre and Anny, Tristan and Claudine as well as Bertrand and Annic who do so much for the de Chazal Family and the de Chazal name.
