Megève, France

Les Fermes de Marie

Up a quiet lane from Megève village, you will find Les Fermes de Marie, a clutch of centuries-old mountain farmhouses with rustic-luxe interiors. High up in the French Alps, this fashionable ski resort was put on the map back in the early 1900s by the Rothschild family, and this five-star hotel is one of its institutions.
