Les Arcs ski resort, with 260 miles of piste and views of Mont Blanc, is celebrating its 50th birthday, much to the delight of aficionados of board sports, hiking… and architecture! Charlotte Perriand, a visionary designer, dedicated 20 years to coordinating the development of this ski resort that is in a class of its own. Her daughter, Pernette Perriand-Barsac, and her son-in-law, Jacques Barsac, take us to the heart of the Alps for a little lesson in architecture.
