Megève is perfect as the setting for a story, but … not one of those cheesy tales with princes and princesses, nor a fable where animals talk and where carriages turn into pumpkins when midnight comes, no.
This is a story imbued with the spirit of Christmas , with every house is filled with all the details and ornaments, each fir-tree decorated with garlands and coloured lights, each person walks smiling by the town square, wishing everybody a happy Christmas. There are story characters driving you in horse and carriage through the village of Megève, a giant tree in the middle of the square decorated with winter sports motives: a skier, an ice-skater, a sled …
Day and night, the movement of pedestrians is accompanied by a carousel, a white, small carousel that moves with an overflowing elegance to gladden the hearts of the smallest and the faces of the elderly with the best of their smiles. During the day, fresh air, chocolate and stores with displays full of life, a walk through the woods of Calvary to see the town from above and picture a Christmas card scene, an ice-skating rink, a mountain village perfect for skiing.
At night, lights, restaurants and a peaceful silence full of magic, a nice, a very nice place, where artificial light gets confused with starlight, where Christmas comes along with a stroll through its streets discovering fairy tale corners, corners of Megève.
