Don't worry, whatever the weather the beer will keep flowing, the outside bar has specially heated-column pumps to stop the beer from freezing in sub-zero temperatures!

As the Folie Douce is based on the eastern slopes it gets the best of the evening sun so you can continue to soak up the rays on their large terrace.
