Hotel Mont-Blanc

When one speaks of Megève, one name immediately comes to mind and rings out clearly like the bells of the church square: the Mont Blanc, the hotel that greets the summits. Situated in the heart of the village and close to the ski lifts, this boutique hotel has regained its reputation under the creative impulsion of the Sibuet family, all the while respecting the spirit of pioneers past, including Georges Boisson and his many friends, including Jean Cocteau who named the restaurant: Les Enfants Terribles

The Hotel Mont-Blanc, at the peak of hospitality for over a century boasts a past worthy of the greatest Parisian palaces... At the time, Jean Cocteau had even nicknamed it “the twenty-first arrondissement of Paris". The story goes that the hotel was a revolving door for an endless list of painters, singers and actors: Bernard Buffet, Sacha Distel, Jean Marais, Josephine Baker, Juliette Greco or Brigitte Bardot. In 1960, Roger Vadim chose this already legendary hotel for the location to shoot his film adaptation of “Dangerous Liaisons" with Jeanne Moreau and Gérard Philippe. Frescoes and original drawings, lithographs, sculptures and quotes engraved in the wood are all nods to the heyday of Megève, to Jean Cocteau, to the artists and to the wild energy brought in by the 60s...
