Perched in the upper Guisane Valley at over 1,500 meters of altitude, L’Harmonie is a remarkable family chalet. Nestled away from view in the village of Serre Barbin, part of the Monêtier-les-Bains commune, it enjoys immediate proximity to the Serre-Chevalier ski area—one of the largest in Europe.

Formerly the home of one of France’s greatest contemporary singer-songwriters, L’Harmonie boasts exceptional acoustic insulation, giving this spacious mountain chalet a cocoon-like, intimate atmosphere—perfect for relaxation and retreat. Stay in an authentic and welcoming chalet that spans three floors and can accommodate up to 15 guests.

The furniture, carefully selected from top Parisian antique dealers, along with the use of fine materials, pays tribute to Alpine charm. Mountain hospitality radiates from every corner of the house: in front of the grand fireplace in the vast living area, in the timeless club chairs of the library, around the large family table, or in one of the seven cozy and inviting bedrooms. Modern amenities and high-end features ensure unparalleled comfort and peace of mind.

The History of the PlaceThrough the Centuries

Built in the late 1990s, Chalet L’Harmonie stands apart in the architectural history of Serre-Chevalier. Designed by the Bayrou architects—master craftsmen emblematic of the valley—it is considered “the last handmade chalet” from their workshop, a rare creation where every beam and wooden joint was crafted using traditional methods, without any modern prefabrication.

“At the time, we wanted to restore all the nobility of larch, our local wood. Every frame was drawn by hand, every board laid one by one. Chalet L’Harmonie is a refined chalet, in the truest sense of the word: a place where wood, light, and mountain interact with natural harmony,” explains Jean-Noël Mocquot, carpenter and longtime member of the Bayrou firm behind the project.

A symbol of a vanishing Alpine craftsmanship, Chalet L’Harmonie embodies a living heritage: that of exposed timber frames, raw larch wood, and materials left in their most authentic form.

2000 - 2002

Construction of the chalet by Chalet Bayrou, commissioned by one of France’s most renowned singers.
