Villa Jeanne d'Arc
Die zwischen 1908 und 1914 errichtete Villa Jeanne d'Arc war damals die erste Ferienstätte für den Sommerurlaub in La Giettaz. Sie zeugt von der touristischen Entwicklung des Dorfs: Zuerst war sie ein Hotel an der Route des Grandes Alpes, dann ein Erholungsheim und dann ein Sanatorium.
At the beginning of the 20th century, at the initiative of the village priest, local residents from La Giettaz built a hotel on the Route des Aravis that boasted every modern comfort, in anticipation of the village’s development as a resort that would attract a growing number of tourists at this location, crossed by the Route des Grandes Alpes. After the war, the establishment was given a new role, that of rest home and then a preventorium. Until 2001, when the Villa closed, it welcomed thousands of guests who contributed to the village’s tourism boom. Recently, the building has found a new vocation, accommodating groups.
