FARMHOUSE IN THE FRENCH ALPS at LES FERMES DE MARIE

Les Fermes de Marie, or Marie’s farmhouses, is laid out as a small hamlet of high-mountain pasture farms several centuries old, lying in a 4-acre park in the heart of the charming French Alps town of Megève.

The nine interlinked chalets form a haven. Each of the farms was dismantled, every piece of wood was numbered and then reassembled on concrete frames in line with the heritage and the traditions of the area. In this timeless retreat away from it all, the charm of the decoration is only equaled by the soul of every piece of furniture and the patina of every object. The comfort of the 70 highly individual rooms and suites is based on traditional simplicity and subtle refinement but incorporates modern life.

FRESH FROM THE FARM at SAINT JAMES PARIS

At Saint James Paris' new Bellefeuille restaurant, in Paris' 16th Arr., Chef Julien Dumas was recently awarded a Michelin star for his eco-responsible cuisine. Dumas brings in fresh-grown organic fruits and vegetables from the hotel's farm just south of Paris via an electric van. Beehives in the hotel's gardens provide the Pastry Chef with Paris-made honey for her creations. For his other ingredients, Dumas has cultivated relationships with carefully selected artisans whose authentic methods respect the environment.
