About the home
Completed in 2010, Les Fermes de Jules is one of two chalet buildings housing a small number of luxury apartments. Built in a traditional style but incorporating the latest technology to provide a secure, cosy home with wonderful views in a quiet yet accessible location.
Situated next to the church in the centre of the village, less than a minutes walk to the shops. In summer you can relax on the balcony listening to the tinkling of the cows as they graze in the meadow in front of the apartment. In winter watch the skiers on the local slope or the husky dogs pulling their sleds vying for space with the cross-country skiers.

The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region
This area of the Rhone Alps (The Abondance Valley) is famed for it's beautiful scenery. Half an hour in the car and you can be on the beach at Thonon-les-Bains on Lake Geneva. Here you can sail, shop in the medieval town centre or have supper by the waterfront. Ten minutes drive along the lake brings you to the pretty town of Evian, famous for its spa water. Another 20 minutes and you’re in Geneva itself where you can shop till you drop in the designer boutiques or sit back and watch the world go by on one of the paddle steamer trips.
In the other direction (through Chatel) you are just 20 minutes drive over the mountains to Switzerland. There are lots of pretty villages and interesting towns within easy reach. Montreaux is worth a visit with a pretty waterfront and beautiful situation with the mountains as a backdrop – don’t forget to visit the statue of Freddie Mercury in his beloved town.
Further afield but still within a couple of hours you can visit Chamonix and Mont Blanc and the beautiful towns of Annecy and Lausanne.
The La Chapelle-d'Abondance area
La Chapelle is an unspoilt traditional Savoyard village in the heart of the Port du Soleil ski area. With a varied selection of shops, bars, restaurants, tourist information and even a cinema you should find your needs met within a few minutes walk of the apartment. In summer there are numerous walks on the doorstep (both gentle and strenuous) and for the more energetic there is via-ferata, horse riding, mountain biking, several types of water-sport and paragliding. In winter there is cross country skiing, snow-shoeing, dog-sleds (right outside the apartment) and of course 650km of downhill skiing spanning both France and Switzerland.
The nearest town is Chatel, only 5 minutes drive up the valley. Here you will find a busy, vibrant atmosphere with a wonderful selection of shops, restaurants, large supermarket, bowling alley, ice rink in winter, and outdoor swimming pool and tennis in summer. Plus open air concerts.
The area has all the facilities of a large resort, but without the package holidays and coach parties. The skiing is fantastic, catering for all abilities with good ski schools and mountain restaurants. The Port du Soliel covers Chatel, La Chapelle, Les Gets, Morzine and Avoriaz. as well as several small resorts in Switzerland.

Situated in an idyllic, picturesque town we fully enjoyed our stay in this stunning apartment. It was incredibly well equipped, comfortable and spacious. The local amenities were perfect. We loved... more |

This has to be the best equipped self catering apartment we have stayed in - everything has been thought of right down to shopping bags and walking poles! The accommodation is well laid out and very comfortable. The location is very convenient for the village centre, yet is very quiet and the views from the windows are wonderful. October is very much out of season in the Val d'Abondance, which was perfect for a peaceful holiday enjoying the walks in the surrounding countryside. It did mean the choice of restaurants was limited, but with an excellent bread and delicatessen shop just round the corner and excellent cooking facilities in the apartment this was not a problem. |

We thoroughly enjoyed a late ski week. The local free bus (and our hire car) took us to a variety of ski points - gave access to many walks and villages. A good choice of lrestaurants with and local dishes at reasonable cost - and a massive supermarket at Chatel should you need it.A gem of a location especially in full season (or I imagine in summer). |
