Marriage? Certainly not, said little Mick Jogger of the Rolling Stones, while Bianca just stood there in her see-through and smiled. Yes, St. Laurent's St. Tropez boutique was making a dress for Bianca, and yes, they were both staying up in the Hotel Byblos there, and yes, "Bianca and I have been together for several weeks.

Built in 1965, Avoriaz reeks of chic; it has become the St. Tropez of the mountains. The visitor leaves his car in the valley, boards the téléphérique and settles back to enjoy the eight-minute ride (perhaps with Frequent Visitor Brigitte Bardot) up the steep, jagged mountainside.
