From the first steps in the village, the very special atmosphere that reigns in Megève envelops you. On the square, the impressive bell tower of the church dominates the many shops, art galleries and terraces. Monuments like this, the village abounds. The stamp of a mountain architecture which, between modernity and avant-gardism, knew how to respect its history. A village with a rich heritage, whose life is told as much as it is lived.
