  • A Great Season, Everyone!
    GUIDE FOR SEASONAL WORKERS WINTER/SUMMER 2010-2011 HAVE A GREAT Pays du Mont-Blanc - Arve Valley SEASON Hello and welcome! 652,000 tourist beds 2nd most popular department for tourism in France From Mont Blanc and the Aravis mountains to the shores of Lake Léman and Lake Annecy, Haute-Savoie offers an idyllic setting for numerous seasonal employees. These workers help ensure enjoyable holidays for tourists from all over the globe. With the current economic climate showing signs of improvement, tourism remains the number one job creation sector in Haute Savoie, showing expansion in the hospitality and ski lift industries. Tourism is an industry that can’t be relocated overseas, and thus represents a vital asset for the future. Since 2007, the public authorities (national government, Regional Councils, and General Councils), elected officials, labour and management groups, and all players involved in social issues (C.A.F., C.P.A.M., M.S.A., subsidized housing, occupational health services) have mobilized to promote seasonal employment as a priority for the department, notably including it in a goals charter. With this framework in mind, and to ensure that seasonal workers « have a good season », the regions of Pays du Mont Blanc and Chablais have mobilized to welcome these employees by means of the Chamonix « Espace Saisonnier » (centre for seasonal workers) and the Chablais « Point Accueil Saisonnier » (information desk for seasonal workers). On a larger scale, Haute-Savoie strives to inform seasonal workers more thoroughly by publishing this guide. Here, employees and employers will find answers to a variety of questions that may concern them, including training, employment, working conditions, health, and housing.

  • Download the Press Pack Winter 2020/2021
    PRESS PACK WINTER 2020 / 2021 savoie mont blanc Located between lakes and mountains, Savoie Mont Blanc is a beautiful area for a winter break. Savoie Mont Blanc has 110 ski resorts, including some world-famous ones such as Val d’Isère, Méribel, Courchevel, Chamonix… and many more. But there are also some smaller ones, which are not well-known by British skiers. This winter could be the ideal time to visit a smaller resort for alpine skiing and also to try some other winter sport activities, such as cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. These eco-friendly activities are the perfect way to peacefully enjoy the beautiful vistas and the pure mountain air, while coming back super-fit from your holiday. If you opt for slow travel, why not stop for a few nights before or after going to a ski resort? There are many charming hotels in the pretty towns of Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains and Annecy, as well as by the lakes and in the vineyards. In the valleys and mountains, more and more hotels and residences are eco-friendly. This sustainable trend is being taken up by restaurants too, which are offering more and more organic, local and seasonal produce. Whatever type of winter holiday you choose, Savoie Mont Blanc is the perfect place to reboot and feel re-energised once back home. Savoie Mont Blanc is easy to access by plane (airports include Chambéry, Grenoble, Lyon and Geneva) and car. Although there is no Snowtrain this winter, Savoie Mont Blanc is still easily accessible by train: take the Eurostar to Paris or Lille, then the TGV to Chambéry or Annecy (it takes less than 3 hours from Paris to Chambéry and less than 4 hours for Annecy).

  • Vues Nouvelles Sur La Structure Des Massifs Des Bornes Et Des Bauges Orientales
    Géologie Alpine, 1996, t. 72, p. 35-59 Vues nouvelles sur la structure des massifs des Bornes et des Bauges orientales par Maurice GIDON * RÉSUMÉ. — Les failles de l'Arcalod (dans les Bauges) et du Charvin (dans les Bornes orientales), d'une part, et (plus hypothétiquement) l'accident médian de Belledonne, d'autre part, ne constituent qu'une seule et même grande cassure. Apparue en faille extensive au Nummulitique elle a ensuite été reprise en coulissement (comme prolongement du grand cisaillement dextre Simplon-Rhône), puis finalement déformée par enroulement lors de la surrection de l'antiforme des massifs cristallins externes. Le synclinal de Serraval - Arclusaz est l'un des responsables de cette déformation posthume. Au sens strict il ne représente que le tronçon intéressant les massifs des Bornes et des Bauges d'un grand "synclinal bordier des massifs cristallins externes" qui s'est formé après la phase de plissement général des massifs subalpins septentrionaux et en recoupe les virgations. La géométrie des autres failles du massif témoigne également d'une tectonique polyphasée analogue à celle antérieurement reconnue à la latitude de Grenoble. Ces conclusions permettent de mieux préciser la chronologie des étapes de déformation des massifs subalpins septentrionaux. Elles contredisent beaucoup des arguments avancés en faveur de l'hypothèse d'un éventuel chevauchement profond des massifs cristallins externes des Alpes septentrionales françaises et conduisent à envisager d'autres schémas explicatifs pour les rapports de ces derniers avec les chaînes subalpines septentrionales. MOTS CLÉS. — Bauges, Bornes, Décrochement, Chevauchement, Plis, Failles, Tectonique polyphasée Tectonics of the Bornes and eastern Bauges massifs (french external Alps, Haute-Savoie, France) : new data and their régional significance ABSTRACT.

  • To Agust Gudmundsson CIVL President Nice, 24Th December 2014
    To Agust Gudmundsson CIVL President Nice, 24th December 2014 N/Réf. : jpp14047 - Dossier C du M Voltige 2016-def Suivi technique : Jean-Marc Ardhuin Suivi secrétariat : Bettina Hamard Objet : World Paragliding aerobatics Championship 2016. Dear President, Following our October 20th, 2014 bid for a FAI World PG Aerobatic, we would like to add the remarks below: Stéphane Malbos told us that a formal practice event might not be mandatory anymore for Aerobatic events if the coming Plenary agrees. If such is the case, we would like to modify our bid as follow: - Organization of our National championship in 2015 from August 26 to 30. It will be a Cat 2 event open to foreign pilots. - World championship from August 26 to September 4th 2016. We will send you soon a new bid within this frame. If the Plenary does not agrees, the time frame will be pushed back one year and we will organize the World Championships in 2017 with a pre-event in 2016. Best regards, Jean Pierre POULEAU FFVL President PRESENTATION DOSSIER FOR THE 2016 ACROBATIC PARAGLIDING FAI 1. Organizer(s): WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 1. Organizers The championships will be organized by “l’Association Les Chamois Volants”, which is endorsed by the French federation of free flight (FFVL). The club “Les Chamois Volants” was created in 1988 in Talloires by pilots who wished to combine walking and paraglider flying. In order to firmly establish the practice of free flight, very quickly the club took the initiative to open landing and take-off areas around lake Annecy, thus supporting under an exceptional framework and very favorable flying conditions, the development of a very important economic activity, specific to paragliding.

Daughton Professor John Connelly Professor Jonah Levy Spring 2011 The Daily Plebiscite: Political Culture and National Identity in Nice and Savoy, 1860–1880 Copyright 2011 Mark Alexander Sawchuk Abstract The Daily Plebiscite: Political Culture and National Identity in Nice and Savoy, 1860–1880 by Mark Alexander Sawchuk Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Carla Hesse, Chair Using the French philosopher Ernest Renan’s dictum that the “nation’s existence is ... a daily plebiscite” as an ironic point of departure, this dissertation examines the contours of oppositional political culture to the French annexation of the County of Nice and the Duchy of Savoy in 1860. Ceded by treaty to France by the northern Italian kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, these two mountainous border territories had long been culturally and geo-strategically in the French orbit. Unlike their counterparts in any other province of France, the inhabitants of the two territories were asked to approve or reject the annexation treaty, and thus their incorporation into France, in a plebiscite employing universal male suffrage.
