Plywood, precious diamonds and pet food deliveries

Not so rough diamond

Zut alors! The owners of a three billion-year-old, tennis ball-sized, 1,109 carat diamond are now considering cutting it in half to make it easier to sell.

Well, mes amis, we sympathise with this. We too have something très suprême. And we also sometimes cut it in two. A half-pint of Kronenbourg 1664 anyone? Santé

In the swing of things

It’s good to see Britain’s biggest golf tournament, le Open, underway again and back at Royal Birkdale.

Sadly there are no Frenchmen showing off their skills on holes 1-18. But that doesn’t mean we’re not interested in le golf. After all, we all know it’s what happens at the 19th hole that really matters…

Plying their trade

A new show at the V&A will put the spotlight on one of the materials that has changed the face of art over the past 150 years – le plywood.

C’est bon to see something so well-loved and versatile being celebrated. Of course, in Alsace we’ve been celebrating something equally as well-loved and versatile for more than 350 years.

A real dog’s dinner

Qu’est-ce que c’est with this new service that delivers healthy food direct to your home... for your dog?

The food supplied is meant to stop your chien from becoming obese and to keep him (or her) flatulence-free. So, mes amis, while Fido feeds his face, why not kick back and relax with a bottle of Kronenbourg 1664 and congratulate yourself on keeping your pooch in perfect shape?

For more than 350 years Kronenbourg 1664 has been crafting the taste suprême. For more information go to k1664.co.uk
