The most special: The Marmots
No room for doubt: we're definitely in the mountains! As its name suggests, Les Marmottes boasts a wonderfully busy decor full of marmots, giant wheels of raclette, and cowbells. It's a delightful journey as we savor the huge wheel of raclette, which we happily let flow onto our plates overflowing with charcuterie. For a complete change of scenery, you simply must head to Les Marmottes.
