St Gervais Mont Blanc
St Gervais is a picturesque spa town on the West side of the Mont Blanc Massif between Chamonix and Megève.
The drawing power of these two big name resorts means that we have stayed free of the mass-market english tour operators and hold onto a genuine feeling of a French mountain town.
St Gervais is home to Europe's highest mountain - Mont Blanc - and has been a popular holiday destination for over a hundred years.
The village is steeped in history and the lovely baroque church is the central point of the village.
For non-skiers and those who like to soak up a bit of the town's atmosphere, we have a full range of shops, supermarkets, bars, potteries, art galleries and restaurants. Every Thursday morning there is a local market, when the village's main square becomes a hive of activity, filling with stalls selling beautiful local cheeses, meats and artisan produce.
If a big night out is what you want, then Chamonix is only 20 minutes down the road, and I'll happily drive you there and show you round the sites.
Or maybe you fancy wondering over to the uber-chic resort of Megeve for a look at how the other half live. St Gervais is the perfect base to explore the Haute Savoie and all it has to offer, but really, there's more than enough to keep you busy here.
