La Perrière: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
The former municipality of La Perrière combines a distinctive winter sports history with traditional hamlets and sacred art. At the end of the 1980s, the former municipality decided to create a winter sports resort near the hamlet of La Tagna. The resort opened on 22 December 1990 under the name La Tania. The construction of the winter sports resort connected the La Perrière valley to the ski area and gives skiers access to the slopes of Courchevel and Méribel.
Those who choose La Perrière as a holiday destination want to rent a holiday apartment for their stay.
Culture and History
The Church of Saint John the Baptist was rebuilt in the 17th century. Inside, there is a significant altarpiece dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, depicting Saints Grat and Guérin. The choir stalls also feature an unusual depiction of the Holy Trinity.
La Nouvaz lies at an altitude of 1,180 metres in the territory of the former municipality of La Perrière. The Chapel of La Nouvaz is not open to the public and can only be viewed from the outside. The Sainte-Marguerite Chapel was built in 1612 on land donated by the inhabitants in 1598; it features a Baroque altarpiece and coloured statues.
Hamlets and Paths
The Chemin de Villarnard leads to the hamlet of Villarnard, which is considered a testament to the local heritage. Villarnard is a traditional mountain hamlet and a former alpine pasture hamlet in the territory of La Perrière. The hamlet's former school houses an exhibition about life in Villarnard up to 1950.
The Association Le Patrimoine preserves and restores the former school, the communal bread oven and the washhouse in Villarnard. Every year in midsummer, the festive, rural and cultural Rencontres du Patrimoine weekend takes place there.
The Chemin du Moulin connects the hamlet of Villaflou, where a mill has been preserved, with La Nouvaz and its chapel. On the Chemin de Villarnard, the return journey can be made by shuttle from the Perrière Saint Jean stop on line I.
