Events and Local Culture
Les Allues hosts a weekly village market and the lively Fête à Fanfoué each August, celebrating Savoyard music, dancing and fireworks. Across winter and summer, the Three Valleys offer a diverse range of open-air concerts and seasonal events.
The Tour de France often passes through the valley, and summer brings cycling races and sportives. Méribel is also a mountain-biking hub, hosting major downhill, cross-country, e-MTB and Enduro events.
Our apartment sits in the heart of the region chosen for the 2030 Winter Olympics—with Méribel’s Roc de Fer alpine course and Courchevel’s ski-jumping venues.
History
The apartment was once part of the villages timber working past before being converted to its current use. Les Allues is the original Méribel village — a picture-perfect Alpine hamlet where the resort’s story began. Long before the ski lifts arrived, this was a traditional mountain community of stone chalets, narrow lanes, and timeless Savoyard character and it remains the historic heart of the valley. Just a short stroll from the apartment, the local village museum offers a charming window into the valley’s past — from the outdoor bread oven you can still see, the history of mountain farming and old ski equipment, and the traditional Savoyard way of life.
