Bars & Clubs

Enjoy live music performances from talented jazz musicians in a very cool venue.

The restored house of Maurice Herzog, mountain guide, leader of the first expedition to conquer an 8,000m peak and former mayor of Chamonix. This is truly a piece of mountaineering history, and now you can enjoy a few drinks where the great man once sat. 

With a bar, stage and small lounge area on the ground floor you can enjoy some fantastic performances from up-and-coming as well as established jazz musicians and singers. The bar attracts a diverse crowd, that belies its chic interior. 

It is also a workshop and residence with a recording studio in the basement and lodging for guest musicians upstairs, making this a true muso hangout.

Open from Tuesday to Friday from 18:00 to 02:00, Saturday from 14:00 to 02:00 and Sunday from 14:00 to 22:00.
