La Forêt April 14th, 2007
This place is lots of fun - the friendly owners Sylvie & Didier do all the usual Savoyard specialities, but it’s the pizzas that steal the show. If there’s a big group of you, drop in or call to book in winter, as it’s tiny. In summer the terrace extends the space and is a pleasant spot for a drink. Great for families, cheap and very cheerful, and they also do takeaway.

A super location on the central green of Les Praz, next to the Flegere lift with a view of the church and Mont Blanc. The terrace is a lovely place to watch the sunset on Mont Blanc with a drink. The hotel is very traditionally French with some rather peculiar decor in some of the rooms, but it’s inexpensive and quiet. The views are lovely, especially if you can get one with a balcony at the front.
The restaurant, like the hotel, is very traditionally Savoyarde and is a good place for a fondue. They also do an excellent trout meuniere. It’s especially nice on summer evenings when you can eat outside on the terrace lit with torches. Ideal for families in summer, as there’s a play area for children, and plenty of room for them to run about on the green.

This is a great find for younger children and their parents - a lovely shady pool under the pines, with pony rides, rope swings, log bridges and forts. There’s a little kiosk cafe - a buvette - with crepes etc, and barbecues in summer. In winter there’s snow tubing for the kids, and vin chaud for adults. They can also arrange birthday parties.
