The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region
The Grand Massif region in the Haute Savoie is the lesser known and the least developed. The villages have maintained the old charm of the Savoyard alpine way of life, where the chalets are adorned with colourful window boxes and church bells echo across the valleys. It always amazes me how quickly the mountains burst with wild flowers so soon after the snow has melted. It is a paradise for the wild flower enthusiast, artist and walker. The air is very clear and the afternoon sun can be very strong high in the mountains with a temperature drop by early evening. However, our balcony in Les Carroz is sheltered by the mountains and is normally warm enough for all meals to be eaten outside. The Tour de France often passes through the Haute Savoie and each year towards the end of July there is a family mini tour "Le Veloticime" starting from Les Carroz.
Grand Massif / Les Carroz area
The old town square forms the centre of Les Carroz d'Araches which is lined with pavement cafe bars, small shops and restaurants.
