Home decoration and garden stores Haute-Savoie

The NGO Prioriterre is the free, independent and neutral Council specialist on sustainable development in the region. It defines itself as a "Choice" of the environment. It will help you reduce your ecological footprint and know how to invest in renewable energies with advice from professionals, advice that sometimes comes only from common sense (before installing a system of eco-heating, it is first to check the insulation of your home) or a change of behaviour (extinguish the generators of your electrical appliances). Funded by 75% by the public authorities and 25% by patrons (such as Bosch or the Alvend laboratory), the NGO set an example since it has the particularity of being hosted in Meythet in the premises, made available by the Town hall, the "House for the planet" (see box).

On the website, a number of fact sheets are available to better choose your insulation, heating, electrical system, but you can also make an appointment by phone or online to receive the advice of Prioriterre.

TCCS for «Technic heating heating». This company, created in July 2009, carries out your work for heating or cooling, using geothermal (heat taken in your garden floor) or aérothermie (use of air, hot or cold calories, for heating or cooling). It also installs solar panels and gas and fuel boilers.

You have to enter this lovely place by Jean-Luc Freundorfer, who welcomes us with his well-shirt vest and his jovial air of the one who can do everything to give your interior a true mountain soul. It must be said that this man perpetuates an old tradition as a cabinetmaker he holds from his grandfather, making custom-made furniture and woodwork with the finest materials, inspired by the masterpieces carried out through the Alps. Thus, a stamped furniture takes its full value here, antique furniture regains its ancient charm and dreams become reality. We are looking at the two levels with admiring eyes, and we admire the fabrics of Arpin and we say that crafts preserve the beauty of this world much more than literature! Other address: 134 Avenue de Genève - SALLANCHES (tel.) 04 50 58 37 79.

There is a choice in this large area, which seems to be spreading at a loss of sight. Vendors, too, even if everyone seems to have a little difficulty finding themselves in the sector assigned to them. Their main asset? The smile that allows them to fill their technical gaps with our questions. In the end, they guide us towards the "home" product, Essential b (distributor brand, Boulanger belonging to the Mulliez group), whose after-Sales Service is entirely managed by the brand… And that's where it really gets stuck. Because after downloading the online mode of use to answer the many questions that remain unanswered, if you want to join a vendor again you're going to "fall" on a call tray located on-do-know-where you can enjoy inefficiency. What is the purpose of offering products with a good value for money, if there is no follow-up after the sale? Large signs still have difficulty in respecting the customer.

At Reflets d'intérieurs, Joël Lax offers you top-of-the-range traditional furniture: bookcases, small pieces of furniture, cupboards, tables and coffee tables, armchairs, sofas (with top-of-the-range French brand Duvivier), lighting fixtures... most of them made in France, for which the owner guarantees impeccable quality. With the help of a true interior designer, you can furnish your apartment or house with Lago shelving units, as well as with a wide range of table and chair brands.

Very good mention for this kitchen designer who chose to call himself, in 1995, the year of his creation, l'Atelier de l'Arcadie simply to... appear at the top of the directory!

Patient and very professional, they offer authentic and ergonomic kitchens that integrate harmoniously into the house, to make the kitchen the center of life in your home.

Beware, here you are among the pros! Farmers in the corner come to Agri Southeast, for example to buy poles and pens for their animals. Here you will find animal feed for cows and horses, and everything that revolves around beekeeping, hunting, fishing or horse riding. But there is also a whole part, more intended for the general public, of interior plants and equipment and maintenance of the house. Agri Sud-Est belongs to the same group as Gamm Vert, a sign that you will not find in the Market basin.

It's essential to get back to the land, to local roots. Head for Pringy, to a family-run nursery specializing since 1967 in fruit trees (apples, plums, pears, cherries), heirloom varieties and ground cover plants (periwinkle, St John's wort, lavender, ivy), for both private and professional customers.

In light of the tourist office, this beautiful boutique allows us to fill our chalet - our house or our apartment… - objects and furniture so Savoyard. At Christmas, we found so many beautiful wooden couronnes, small objects decorated with the famous heart, packed baskets… that it took us all the advice and help of a charming lady to wrap up our discoveries! The kitchen corner has not yet been found, with a superb range of tabliers, towels or water pitchers and the traditional Savoyard furniture. Because this shop is not just one of the umpteenth decoration shop - with beautiful discoveries again - it is also a carpenter's shop where we manufacture typical Savoyard furniture to arrange with your interior. A tasteful boutique where you can welcome an excellent welcome.

Lise Cassani's workshop can be discovered while walking on the Coux. Her creations have been exhibited throughout France and the world, and she is often present at regional markets. Her specialty is handmade pottery made of glazed clay that she decorates by hand. She gives a singular and colorful aspect to decorative or utilitarian objects. Visits are made in small groups by appointment, by telephone. Training courses are organized in summer, for young and old.

In his workshop in Morzine, Gérard Menu perpetuates an ancestral know-how which he claims to follow from the raw material to the final glazed and decorated object. Faithful to the traditional forms of the region and to the clay, he turns by hand: dishes, pots, oil dishes, bowls, plates... The patterns are respected in the purest Savoyard tradition: green and brown lines on a yellow ochre background, alternating brown and dark ochre dots. The pattern drawn can be an edelweiss or cows, made freehand. Each piece is unique !

This large shop took possession of this new sales area under the arcades of the new buildings. A little novelty, therefore, in this area where many pedestrians are located, as between the Bonlieu centre and the prefecture. An original concept is developed by this florist: flowers and floral compositions are staged in their environment, of course vases but also small furnishings: tables, furniture, shelves… In this way, one can relooker its interior and offer a nice bouquet.

Choose dry toilets for ecological use, lack of bad smells and minimal maintenance.

Just before the Alpine photo shop dedicated to the Tairraz family, an impasse draws our attention. Le Blue. Funny name for an antique shop specialising in mountain furniture. It does not prevent: Virginie Philippe, who holds shop, knows his profession. The héritière of great mountain photographers Tairraz neglected the black family rooms but forgot to forget its roots: large cupboards, fine oak buffets, clarines, old piolets and other chamois chandeliers bring us straight back to the th century Savoy. Mountain furniture with a history and a sensation in a living. The only drawback is: provide more space in the car than for the cup "I love Chamonix" bought the day before. 

This is a cabinetmaker who is passionate about his craft! Traditional manufacturing and assemblages: dress, stiles, ankles, arondes tails, keys… Its alpine furniture respects the rules of art and uses local essences of spruce, pine pine, birch, wood wood, etc. Jean Bortoli specialized in hand-shaped furniture. Outlays, gives, bonnetière… unique, custom-made, custom-made pieces, in the studio of the peaceful hamlet of Chamoule. A typical style and manufacture of the Alps!

The workshop store offers more than a nice souvenir of local craftsmanship: the sound of the mountains!

All the bells bear the family stamp since 1829. Ancestral manufacturing for bells stamped, forged, closed and riveted in the workshop, and covered with brass or copper in the oven.

Opinel has been part of the Savoyard - and French - heritage since 1890. The pocket knife par excellence, always decorated with the "crowned hand", is one of the essential objects to have on one's person, for a "traditional" use (and not dangerous of course) and at home. Under the arcades of the rue Filaterie, the one and only store of the brand to discover the whole panoply of the closing knives, more original models, and other sharp utensils signed Opinel. The entire team is at your service to help you choose your knife from a range that is as well suited to the table as it is to gardening, DIY and outdoor activities. A visit is essential.

In the country of the mountain, Smart finally found it: A little on this square of the Aravis, but apparent thanks to the splendid decoration of its boutique: Heïdi came down from the mountain. Decoration, furniture, light, curtains… and much more! You can trust the talents of Florence Vanhoucke when you discover his shop. Little space, but a multitude of objects to discover: fabrics, voiles, dishwashers, furniture… and these beautiful bells worn by cows, so rare to purchase! Thanks to the combination with care and professionalism, we can see everything in this charming boutique with harmonious colours. The most fragile and smaller objects are elegantly and judiciously highlighted in these original wooden windows. Besides objects to decorate its interior, home linen or luminaires, it is also the study and design of your interior and your art of living that you can find here.

It is what authentic alpine interior? For the knowledge, you must cross the threshold of this shop that is among the most beautiful in the Alps. Indeed, if you know the prestigious brands that are displayed behind the windows of the luxury shops of the station, you know under Megève houses craftsmen whose brands shine by their know-how. In Soli furniture, the expression "authentic" is never hackneyed. It must be said that in the Freundorfer family tradition of the cabinet designing is passed from generation to generation since 1923! In Soli, when a furniture is "original", it is a "original version" in question. Then, you will discover rooms of exception, rare objects like these paintings of the 18th century, the objects of popular art collection made by farmers of our mountains Savoyard, Austrian, Bavarian and Swiss... And when the original rooms are not available any more, the workshop of the Masters of cabinetmakers Soli recreates them, works them or restoring them in the greatest respect for traditions. Supreme elegance, it is of course to leave all the decoration of its interior to the masters of the mountain atmosphere. Wooden ceilings worked with the walls of warm wood panelling, via the furniture, the small objects and fabrics, will not make you away! Strict work that does not exclude a touch of fantasy, a work of artist who gives our interior all the soul of our mountains.

Secure payment and delivery at home as soon as possible.

Under the arcades of St. Clair Street, a red sign with small hearts attracts the eye. Born from the Fine Arts of Lille, this artist manie colour and image, dream and real. Tiny details of the photos pasted illustrate its paintings, but also jours and other naive objects to discover in this small directory of the old town.

A real shop specialized in the candle. A unique store where you can discover beautiful creative treasures. Candles in turtles, cats or dogs that children adopt without hesitation. And fruit candles? They would eat so much as they are realistic. In a fruit cut, we see only fire (!) and these do not rot. Very trend also, long wooden garden torches that work with liquid wax to create a luminous gangway along a path. Trader's Tip: we add some essential oils for fresh and scented air. More classical, anniversaires or scented candles, candleholder, candles or pourri. An address frequented by real connoisseurs and faithful, who is to visit as a museum, somewhat anachronistic. Shame that the storefront is not more attractive with a brand that is one, because if you don't know, never stop.

This boutique has recently moved from old quarters to more in the city centre. Brazilian music, Brazilian accent for the reception, and you don't have to be asked to try one of the many hammocks waiting for bodies tired of a siesta. Rayés or united brightly, you can imagine these comfortable hammocks between two trees in the garden. Unless you opt for long relaxing breaks in the middle of the lounge! An authentic boutique that also offers beautiful blankets with shimmering cotton made in Brasil.

Art de vivre around the pleasures of the table for a store that successfully combines tradition and modernity. Tradition means dishes with Savoyard motifs. Modernity means modern utensils for preparing dishes and being equipped like a real modern chef.

From food processors to deep fryers, baking moulds, salt and pepper mills, kitchen knives and, of course, crockery... Personalized advice is invaluable, and given with a smile. A tasteful address.

A "historical" brand, created more than 20 years ago, which continues its path with Botanic Serres du Salève, also a regional group from Haute-Savoie. In the Grand Epagny area, everything you need to cultivate your garden. Large spaces or small balconies, everyone can find something to add colour and flavour to the earth. Choose your plants carefully, plant your vegetables according to the seasons, the advisers are there to guide you and build your natural decor. Equipment and tools adapted to your work. The layout of your outdoor space also includes the purchase of furniture. Pet shop for his faithful flipper, two- or four-legged companions.

For once, we are rather happy to see in Annecy a national sign created in Paris more than 20 years ago. The shop is small, which is not an advantage to present such contemporary furniture as it is, but the reception is very warm and it is proposed to go on the Internet to see the sofas that cannot all hold in a reduced space. Trend, practical, functional, manufactured in France and inexpensive, here are some main lines to summarize the Conceptua spirit where there are also small objects.

A new generation shop specializing in renewable energies. Creator of "écolomie", an economic and ecological alternative. Here, photovoltaic solar panels are being touted to resell the electricity produced by EDF. This boutique makes us discover a range of solar-powered products: toys, lamps, garden lamps. The end of the end consists of mini solar panels that equip a backpack to be able to recharge batteries from a mobile phone, camera, or MP 3 anywhere, and especially to produce its own energy. A great kick at this very innovative boutique.
