Manoir du Baron Blanc

Manoir du Baron Blanc

A historic heritage in the heart of Faverges

A bit of history...

The Piedmontese architecture house was built at the beginning of the 19th century by the 'Baron Blanc' as a private house. Having become the Stunzi property, the manor was sold to Varay at the beginning of the 20th century and has remained in the family since (Dussoliet-Gond then Falcy).

Jeannette and Maurice Falcy renovated the building into a hotel in the early 1980s, thus preserving its historic character while offering modern comfort.
