Megève of old : as told through its postcards

This voyage to the heart of Megève by means of its old post-cards is an amazing adventure that helps us to understand the transformation undergone by the village that we know today.

There are so many anecdotes ! There are roads, schools, hôtels, shops, the station, cafés, restaurants, sports centres, ski-lifts...so many places that have sprung up over the years under the photographers lenses. Summer and winter alike, photographers roamed up and down tracks, snowfields, meadows, streets and alleyways to immortalise these changes.

This adventure brings together several episodes that sometimes overlap, recalling that « before the arrival of the Baroness, a good winter was one without snow ». That was before the emergence of winter sports, that period when crop farming and livestock breeding gave way to tourism, fundamentally changing people's mentalities and signalling the reversal of seasonal migration.
