Civil Wedding of Pauline and Victor

They said "I do!" Pauline Alves De Amorim and Victor Klein were married yesterday morning in the Council Chamber at the Maison Marcel Charvin. The couple has known each other for over 10 years. Pauline Alves de Amorim, originally from Oyonnax and a product manager, reminisces about her first weekend with her husband in Val d'Isère in January 2016, as well as their games of checkers at the Cinq Frères ski club after a day on the slopes. Her favorite run is Grand Pré, even though her husband often takes her to Legettaz. After 10 years of skiing in Val d'Isère, Pauline is still not a fan of the Face run. Her husband, Victor Klein, has known Val d'Isère since he was 5 years old and was an instructor at the ESF (French Ski School) in Val d'Isère. Originally from Strasbourg and a consultant, his fondest memory will always be the weekend of January 26, 2016, when he introduced his wife to the village. Everything was perfectly aligned for the couple: the glorious weather, their first turns together on the slopes, his training at Legettaz for his instructor certification, and also the evening spent with friends at Marie's, enjoying crêpes and cider. The couple remembers how difficult the goodbyes on the train platform were and how their union was meant to be. We wish the newlyweds all the happiness in the world.
