Apparently, there is a history of folding chairs in Northern Europe which dates back to the Bronze Age. Wikipedia reports that the first
deckchairs were patented in the 1850s, and that it is not entirely clear as to whether they are a US or British "invention".
They are of course an excellent way to sit and reflect. Here, for no particularly good reason, are some spotted in and around the Tarentaise:
 |
| Aux Enfants Terribles, Peisey-Vallandry |
 |
| Hotel de la Vanoise, Plan Peisey |
 |
| La Cordée restaurant, just above Plan Peisey |
 |
| Le Solliet restaurant, above Villaroger |
 |
The last deckchairs in France: La Rosiere,
next to the new "Fort" lift |
