Our first mountain home, in the heart of Les Contamines-Montjoie <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lyon – 01\/04\/2026<\/strong>Les Aubergistes Lyonnais has added to its collection with the acquisition of Le Gai Soleil<\/strong>, an iconic 3-star hotel in Les Contamines-Montjoie. Nestled in the heart of the village, at the foot of Mont Blanc, this 19-room<\/strong> establishment, with its restaurant, garden and relaxation facilities, becomes the group’s first Alpine address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An authentic retreat, naturally in tune with the innkeeper’s DNA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mountain home with roots dating back to 1823, first as a farmhouse then as an inn before becoming a hotel, Le Gai Soleil has preserved its soul: a simple welcome, a direct relationship with nature, and a typically Savoyard architectural charm.For Lo\u00efc Renart<\/strong>, President of Aubergistes Lyonnais, this acquisition is an obvious choice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Offering food, lodging and human contact – that’s the innkeeper’s promise. Le Gai Soleil fully embodies this spirit. It’s an elegant, sincere refuge that extends our ambition: to reveal inhabited houses, bearers of history, whether they be city or mountain homes.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major renovation by Eroz – opening June 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Gai Soleil will undergo a complete renovation by the Eroz<\/strong> agency, which will reinterpret the hotel in the spirit of a chalet: weathered wood, warm materials, muffled lighting, antique objects… A contemporary mountain atmosphere, designed to create an intimate, lively setting.A first reopening is planned for this summer, with full completion of the works in June 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A privileged location, between unspoilt nature and four-season tourism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in the sought-after La Frasse district, in a peaceful setting close to the Parc du Pontet and hiking trails, the hotel boasts an unobstructed view of the peaks.It will become an ideal base for :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
