Paris Match

"This quest for harmony with nature is reflected in the philosophy of Les Fermes de Marie. The Sibuet family's Megevan property is home to two chalets, the Chalet des Fermes and the Chalet du Skieur, dating from 1939. For Maxime Levotre - husband of Marie Sibuet, founder and director of the Chalets des Fermes collection - these establishments "feel like a refuge. It's a cocoon that lets you enjoy your family or friends without being cut off from the hotel and its atmosphere. Its graphic, raw, uncluttered decor is reminiscent of the functional design imagined by Henry Jacques Le Même for his concept of the skier's chalet, which, as early as 1926, offered a luminous, spacious and chic habitat." One hundred years on, the mountain proves that it has lost none of its elegant appeal."

The beautiful story of the Farms of Mary

Les Fermes de Marie

A rare and unique place, Les Fermes de Marie, which this year celebrates its thirtieth anniversary, continues to embody the art of mountain living. Combining marvellously the charm of the past, simplicity, elegance and refinement, they remain a special address where it is good to come and return. More than a place, they are also the fruit of a beautiful story, that of Jean-Louis and Jocelyne Sibuet...

 

Once upon a time... A little over thirty years ago, Jean-Louis Sibuet imagined recreating a small village by reusing old materials. "I wanted to make something with a soul, something that didn't exist at the time," he says. At the beginning of the 1980s, in 1984, he began dismantling farms. "When I started trying to salvage old wood, I looked for old farms where there had been landslides, where lightning had struck... I took apart one and then two...". Pretty soon everyone around here knows about it. Jean-Louis Sibuet thus travels the two Savoies every weekend, hunting with Jocelyne but also recovering old furniture, quantity of old stones and nails per kilo. In five years, he rebuilds some 2,000 pieces of furniture. "I was taken for a moment for a madman," he recalls with amusement. He then stored everything on a plot of land in Flumet and took over a carpentry workshop with old equipment. Passionate, he cut, rebuilt and stored all the wooden furniture, to the point of piling up cupboards on three levels! "I took all these pieces apart at least ten times and put them back together again. »

The story of a passion

The first great phase of the Farms of Mary is therefore the recovery of old materials. From 1983 to 1988, Jean-Louis dismantles with his "guys" who, taking advantage of the off-season (the latter being ski instructors, mountain guides) come to work alongside him.

 

A crazy project

The construction of the Fermes de Marie began in 1989. In fact, most of the Farms were designed in only nine months, opening in December of that same year. "I had found a mason who was passionate. During the week, he was putting up the walls. On weekends, I would form and then he would pour the slabs. "In short, Jean-Louis Sibuet works day and night, concentrating on the structure during the day and adorning the stone walls at night... before sometimes joining Jocelyne who works on the furniture, which she chines but also designs, like her bedside lamps. In nine months, therefore, with about fifty people, the main part of the Farms is designed. More precisely, about thirty rooms, including two suites, the chalet that the family then lived in with their two children, Nicolas and Marie (and which became suites 101 and 102), the restaurant as well as the structure of the future spa, including the underground, and even the swimming pool. "It felt like it was all over when it was just beginning. It felt huge... I even wondered what I'd done, if it wasn't too much..." All the more so as the couple committed themselves to this crazy project - to recreate an authentic mountain hamlet - without having validated its financing. Everything was built," continues Jean-Louis, "but I couldn't pay for it! The banker told me we couldn't do it like that! It was funny. "Also, at a time when Megève has lost its former lustre and is no longer in vogue, Jean-Louis Sibuet goes to see about twenty bankers, until he finds one who understands his idea and follows up the project.

The Megève Style

One of the most important figures in the history of Megève, Henry Jacques Le Même gave his architectural soul to the resort and, even more so, influenced its way of life...

Henry Jacques Le Même, inventor of the Megève style

It is a certainty, the landscape of Megève would not be the same if Henry Jacques Le Même had not decided to settle there in 1925. Because its singular and so well integrated architecture founded the identity of this resort launched by the Rothschild family in the early 1920s. Born in 1897, a graduate of the Beaux-Arts in his native Nantes, then of Paris, where he won first prize in the prestigious Rougevin competition in 1923, the student architect then joined the studio of one of the masters of the Art Deco style, Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann. There he learnt how to carry out a project from start to finish, from architecture to interior decoration, from space planning to furniture design with remarkable craftsmanship. Skills that he will apply to each of his building sites. But in poor health, the future builder was forced to take a cure in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains. Adolphe Beder, an industrialist and director of the Société Française des Hôtels de Montagne (SFHM), for whom he had just designed the decorations for a casino in the Nièvre, advised him to go to a small village that Baroness Noémie de Rothschild had just decreed the ideal winter sports resort: Megève. The latter asked the young man to look at the plans for his private chalet, with the old farms of the country as a paradigm. Henry Jacques Le Même thus left Paris for Haute-Savoie for good.

Farm grocery store

A Mégevanne institution opened more than 70 years ago, the Roc family grocery store has, since last winter, become the Épicerie des Fermes. What can you find there? A delicious selection of local, artisanal and international products that can only be found here and not elsewhere, carefully chosen by Marie and Nicolas Sibuet. In short, nothing but the very best.

By Food and Wonders

Make no mistake, this little grocery store, at the crossroads of 5 streets, is full of sweet and savoury wonders for any self-respecting gourmet. There are some 1,000 hand-picked items, carefully sourced in Italy from local producers and artisans, but also from the travels and favourites of Marie and Nicolas Sibuet, a very fine wine and alcohol list with more than 400 items, and a host of lovingly concocted delicacies. "We work a lot on the selection of our products, which we are constantly refining, and the niche products which can also be English or American, the whole being to be always qualitative and consistent. This grocery store is also part of the continuity of our hotel and restaurant business because we are keen to give meaning to what we do, by going further in each of our houses, in complementary circuits. »

Meat experience at the Beef Lodge

Le Beef Lodge

The Lodge Park, with its trendy and cosy atmosphere, looks like a chic Nordic refuge and houses an exceptional steak house. So let yourself be transported to this elegant lodge at the end of the world to savour rare meats, matured and cooked according to the rules of the art.

 

In this refined place adorned with wood and warm hangings, enhanced with trophies and skins, we detail, as one would leaf through a travel diary, the map and the butcher's stall which present only exceptional meats. To be more precise? Meat selected from the best farms in the world by Olivier Metzger, butcher (based in Neuilly and Rungis) for four generations and who supplies the finest French tables with his brother Franck, including the Beef Lodge. The meats are then cooked by a passionate chef, Christophe Côte (a predestined name, it seems), then presented and advised by the "bouchelier" (meat adviser) Romain Massiera, who is also in charge of the Beef Lodge.

 

At Heart

As Olivier Metzger explains: "Exceptional meat is an animal that is well treated, well raised and well slaughtered. It must have three main qualities: tenderness, 'juiciness', with a beautiful red colour, and a good marbling (editor's note: fat microorganisms) to be melting. "And if each terroir has its own specificity, which varies according to the climate, the breed and the food of the animals, in this luxury steak house, the meats selected and matured here are selected above all for their qualities. No specific breed on the menu therefore, as Chef Christophe Cote points out, but exceptional animals. "The breed doesn't have much to do with it, I prefer to work on a product that has been selected by the butcher, then we work with breeders and slaughterhouses. "Moreover, he sometimes even accompanies Olivier Metzger to the breeders' premises or joins him at Rungis, just to see the animals or follow the maturing process. Even if the cutting and cooking work is just as essential. "Christophe is a real meat expert, he has an extraordinary love of the product, like the Sibuet family, who have a real education and an incredible love of products", says Olivier Metzger. So much so that the chef and his teams have followed training courses at the École Nationale Supérieure des Métiers de la Viande with Olivier Metzger and also work at a school in Groisy, in Haute-Savoie, where they teach students how to cut meat in the catering trade.
