On 20 May, Old Tonbridgians gathered for a memorable reunion under the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris. Blessed with perfect weather, the evening was filled with lively conversation, fine food, and a spectacular setting.

Festivities began with an apéritif cruise along the River Seine. The group then moved to a rooftop restaurant, where they enjoyed dinner and drinks as dusk fell. With the Eiffel Tower illuminated in the background, the setting provided a magical backdrop for an evening of reconnection and celebration.

Those OTs attending were (from left to right in the above photo) Jean-Baptiste Defour (JH 14-19), Giles Bateman (FH 87-92), Jose Peran (SH 88-92), Simon Owen (PS 73-78), Alexander Summerfield (HS 84-89) and Dominique Legrand (FH 57-61).

Many thanks to Giles Bateman for bringing everyone together and organising such an enjoyable event. The Paris OTs are already looking ahead and planning another event next year.
