Medieval village wine walk through 13th-century cobblestones

Megève, France

"Monks of Talloires Abbey cleared Megève's 13th-century slopes to build farms—now a medieval village blooms with cobbled streets around the main square, where local Mondeuse & Apremont wines pair with tartiflette & raclette in the Alps."

    Medieval village wine walk through 13th-century cobblestones

    Take a self-guided walking tour combining Megève's 13th-century history with its 21st-century wine culture. Start at the Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste (13th century bell tower), walk through cobblestone streets to L'Atelier Megève wine shop, stop at Le S Bar for a glass of Jacquère by the fireplace, continue to the village square with medieval fountains, and end at Le Hibou Blanc to observe the mix of locals and jet-setters. Time it for 18:00 when the church bells ring—you'll experience 800 years of history in a village that became an aristocratic ski resort without losing its medieval soul.
