Megeve, France
Situated in the heart of the French Alps in the canton of Sallanches Megève owes its tourist importance to the Rothschild family who, from 1910 made it a vacation spot, which thus became competitor to the station of Saint Moritzin Switzerland that, in the interwar period was full of Germans.
Megève and Tignes were in competition, but finally it was Megeve where Noémie de Rothschild decided to install herself. She began to build several hotels, and among them, one that is still the symbol of the station, Hotel Mont d' Arbois.
The same Baroness Noémie de Rothschild ordered the famous architect Henry Jacques Le Même the construction of a chalet that resembles the farmhouses of the region, all wood, with a large balcony along the front, comfortable rooms and a real fireplace in the living room.
Followed by the Princess Angèle de Bourbon in 1927, many chalets of this type began to appear, and from then on this is the current appearance of this spot and all Luxury Winter Resorts.
