La Maison des Artistes
Music and Jazz club set in a beautifully restored period house with an outdoor terrace
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.
The neighbourhood
Tucked away in a landscaped garden behind the casino in the centre of Chamonix, the Maison is accessible on foot from Rue de la Tour or by car from Rue des Allobroges.
