Family Holiday
We had a wonderful family holiday at your chalet, Chez Matine.
Everything is so well thought out so that everyone feels at home, and we shared some great moments together.
It's very well laid out and equipped with kitchen appliances, and we really enjoyed cooking together.
This week was incredible, and we created some wonderful memories!
See you soon for our next holiday!
Warmly,

Tout y est bien pensé pour que chacun s'y sente comme chez lui et nous avons partager de bon moments ensemble.
Il est très bien agencé et équipé en terme de matériel de cuisine et nous avons pris un grand plaisir à cuisiner tous ensemble.
Cette semaine était incroyable et nous avons créé de beaux souvenirs !
A bientôt pour de prochaines vacances !

Family Stay - Young and Old
We all had a wonderful stay at Valentine's chalet. The chalet is spacious, very well located, and equipped with high-quality amenities. The little rattan or wicker baskets, the cutting boards, the dishes... we felt right at home, not to mention Corinne's delicious meals and Gilles' warm welcome. We were there during the snowstorm (2 meters of snow in 2 days - road closed). Gilles and Mrs. Rives kept us informed about the situation every day. We plan to return next year.

Nous avons tous passé un excellent séjour dans le chalet de Valentine. Le chalet est spacieux, très bien situé et bénéficie d'un équipement de très bonne qualité. Les petits paniers en rotin ou osier, les planches à découper, la vaisselle, .... nous étions comme à la maison, sans oublier les bons petits plats de Corinne et l'accueil bienveillant de Gilles. Nous y étions lors de l'épisode neigeux, ( 2 m de neige en 2 jours- route coupée). Nous avons tous les jours été informés par Gilles et par Mme Rives de la situation. Nous envisageons de revenir l'année prochaine.

Congratulations !
We had a wonderful stay in the lovely chalet at Chez Matine. Located in a charming, typical old mountain village, the chalet is very welcoming (great decor), very comfortable, and very well-equipped. We have absolutely no complaints. We had a fantastic week: some enjoyed skiing in perfect snow conditions, while others enjoyed walks and exploring the very pretty village of L'Ecot above Bonneval. Contacting Anne Rives for the formalities went very smoothly. Thank you, Gilles, for your warm welcome. Congratulations to Ms. Valentine Lambert for the renovation of this chalet. A great success! We will certainly recommend your chalet.

Super séjour dans ce très joli chalet CHEZ MATINES. Situé dans un charmant vieux village typique de montagne, le chalet est très chaleureux (super déco), très confortable et très bien équipé. Rien à redire. Nous avons passer une semaine formidable : pour certain le ski avec une neige idéale, pour d'autres les balades et la découverte du très joli village de l'Ecot au dessus de Bonneval. Les contacts avec Anne Rives pour les formalités se sont très bien passés. Merci Gilles pour votre sympathique accueil. Bravo Mme Valentine Lambert pour la restauration de ce chalet. Une belle réussite. NOus ne manquerons pas de recommander votre chalet.

Charming Chalet
The chalet is magnificent, superbly rebuilt (the work took two years) respecting the style of the chalets of Bonneval, undoubtedly one of the most charming villages in the French Alps. Look up in the main room to admire the whole tree trunks brought from Italy. There are no practical issues to report, given the architectural constraints. We are in the heart of historic Bonneval, and a 10-minute walk from the beginner ski area. For the main resort, the shuttle bus stops every 10 minutes, 100 meters from the chalet, and you can ski right back. The delightful bakery is 20 meters away. Gilles' welcome is impeccable, and his wife can even prepare delicious local dishes for you. Keep in mind that the historic chalets of Bonneval do not have direct views of the peaks, given their "protective" design in the heart of a mountain that was very inhospitable in the past.

Le chalet est magnifique, superbement reconstruit (les travaux ont duré 2 ans) en respectant le style des chalets de Bonneval, sans doute un des villages les plus charmants des Alpes françaises. Levez la tête dans la pièce principale pour admirer les troncs entiers venus d'Italie. Rien à signaler côté pratique, compte-tenues des contraintes architecturales. Nous sommes au cœur du Bonneval historique, et à 10 minutes à pieds de la zone de ski débutants. Pour la station principale, la navette s'arrête toutes les 10 minutes à 100 m du chalet, et on revient skis aux pieds. La délicieuse boulangerie est à 20 m. L'accueil de Gilles est irréprochable et son épouse peut même vous préparer de délicieux plats locaux. Ayez bien conscience que les chalets historiques de Bonneval n'ont pas de vue directe sur les sommets compte tenu de leur conception "protective" au cœur d'une montagne qui était très hostile à l'époque.

great stay with friends in Bonneval
Our stay at Matine's in Bonneval was wonderful. The house is very charming and cozy, and very well-equipped for cooking for about ten people. We also really appreciated finding a basic grocery store and had a blast playing the "How many [people] do you have?" game.
Gilles had made space in the laundry room, so we were able to store all our mountain gear there; it was perfect. Communication for the booking was very smooth and responsive.
We will gladly return.

Le séjour à Bonneval chez Matine s'est très bien passé, la maison est très sympathique et cosy, très bien équipé pour cuisiner pour une dizaine de personne. Nous avons aussi fortement apprécié y trouver un fond d'épicerie et nous sommes régalés avec le jeux "tu te mets combien en".
Gilles avait fait de la place dans la buanderie, nous avons pu y ranger toutes nos affaires de montagnes, c'était parfait.
La communication pour la réservation à été très fluide et réactive.
Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Charmed!
Our stay at "Chez Matine" went very well. We really appreciated the booking process, the quick and efficient communication, the many tips from Anne Rives, and the welcome on site from Gilles. We found the accommodation to be as described, very well-equipped (especially the kitchen), quite clean, and very comfortable. The abundant and well-designed artificial lighting compensates for the lack of natural light in this wonderfully renovated barn. A small suggestion regarding linens: hand towels in the bathrooms (only large bath towels were provided).
One point to note is the weak Wi-Fi connection. Its range and capacity were limited to the immediate vicinity of the router. There was no Wi-Fi on the lower floor or outside on the terrace: good news for those seeking a digital detox. (Editor's note: we've since switched to fiber optic internet; there's very high-speed internet everywhere in the chalet. Sorry for the digital detox :-))
The village is full of charm and the shops are ideally located. Everything is within easy reach during the summer! The warm welcome from the locals and neighbors is noteworthy, especially since the village is extremely popular and overrun with tourists during the day. Fortunately, the evenings are quieter, and the village is regaining its tranquility.
The last point regarding the house: the nuisance created by the "café, grocery, tobacco" sign outside. Its impact was significant and caused frequent interruptions from tourists looking for the said business. This unpleasant situation would certainly be very easy to correct by removing the sign to avoid any confusion.
However, this didn't prevent us from fully enjoying the accommodation and its location. It's an ideal starting point for numerous hikes and bike rides. A special mention goes to the neighbors on the same floor, whose wise advice guided us in planning our mountain outings. We also greatly appreciated all their anecdotes about the life of the Bonneval residents. A wonderful encounter, which certainly enhanced our stay! Furthermore, we enjoyed exceptional summer weather. What more could we ask for, other than the chance to return to stay in Bonneval!

Notre séjour "Chez Matine" s’est très bien déroulé. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les modalités de réservation, la communication rapide et efficace, les nombreux conseils d'Anne Rives, ainsi que l'accueil sur place de Gilles. Nous avons trouvé le logement tel que décrit, très bien équipé (surtout la cuisine), assez propre et très confortable. L'éclairage artificiel abondant et bien pensé permet de compenser le manque de lumière naturelle de cette ancienne grange merveilleusement rénovée. Une petite suggestion côté linge de maison: des essuie-mains dans les salles de bain (seules de grandes serviettes de bain étaient fournies).
Un point à mentionner est la faiblesse de la connexion wifi. Sa portée et sa capacité étaient limitées à la proximité immédiate du routeur. Pas de wifi à l'étage inférieur, ni à l'extérieur sur la terrasse: une bonne nouvelle pour ceux qui cherchent une détox digitale.
Le village est plein de charme et les commerces idéalement situés. Tout est à portée de main en période estivale! L'accueil chaleureux des habitants et des voisins est à souligner, d'autant que le village est extrêment populaire et envahi de touristes pendant la journée. Heureusement, les soirées sont plus calmes et le village retrouve sa quiétude.
Le dernier point concernant la maison: la nuisance créée par l’affiche extérieure « café épicerie tabac ». Son impact était non négligeable et a occasionné des interruptions fréquentes de la part de touristes à la recherche dudit commerce. Cette situation désagréable serait certainement très facile à corriger en enlevant l'affiche pour éviter toute confusion.
Cela ne nous a toutefois pas empêché de profiter pleinement du logement et de sa localisation. Départ idéal pour de nombreuses randonnées à pieds ou en vélo. Une mention spéciale aux voisins de palier, dont les conseils avisés ont guidé la planification de nos sorties en montagne. Nous avons aussi bien apprécié toutes leurs anecdotes sur la vie des bonnevalins. Une belle rencontre, qui a certainement agrémenté notre séjour! De plus, nous avons joui d'une météo d'été exceptionnelle. Que demander de plus, sinon la chance de revenir séjourner à Bonneval!

A very nice discovery!
In a magical and authentic place, the old village of Bonneval sur Arc, we enjoyed the splendid setting of Valentine's chalet, the tree trunk frame that supports the lozes roof, the transparent staircase, and all the comfort of the heated floor and the many bathrooms! The generous space of the kitchen and the living space! and outside, only welcoming, friendly people happy to share the history of this village and its customs! And we imagine that each season brings its share of discovery on the fauna, flora and magic of these mountains of the Vanoise!
To see and see again! Thank you Valentine

Dans un lieu magique et authentique, le vieux village de Bonneval sur Arc, nous avons savouré le cadre splendide du chalet de Valentine, la charpente en troncs d'arbres qui supporte le toit en lozes, l'escalier en transparence, et tout le confort du sol chauffant et des nombreuses salles de bain ! L'espace généreux de la cuisine et de l'espace de vie ! et dehors, que des gens accueillants, sympathiques et heureux de partager l'histoire de ce village et de ses coutumes ! Et l'on imagine que chaque saison apporte son lot de découverte sur la faune, la flore et la magie de ces montagnes de la Vanoise !
A voir et à revoir ! Merci Valentine
