This area is absolutely gorgeous and though our room was small, the bathroom did not lock and the connecting door to the next room was missing the lock and handle entirely- was so magical. There is no AC, but with the rushing river of glacial water flowing just outside the window, it is unnecessary. The staff were so amazingly friendly and helpful, though they did not all speak English- which worked for me because I wanted to speak French- and they were so helpful with me! My French isn’t great but I didn’t feel judged, they just let me practice with them and were awesome about it!
The location is about 20m from the Aiguille du MIDI area, but is in a nice quiet area- I liked the area a lot. We did not eat or do much in the area, but it was a very sleepy, quaint, peaceful area.
We did have a rental car, and they did have free parking so that was very convenient.
