"our expectations
Explanation:
prior to the congress"
Hi Chris,
I would simply omit translation of "pur riposte" as unnecessary verbiage in translation. The alternative would be something longer "the expectations which we had, nevertheless, placed **in the venue** prior to ..." or "even though we had high expectations of the villa prior to".
