Le Grand Chalet

  • Photo: Parc naturel régional Gruyère Pays-d’Enhaut
The Grand Chalet, formerly the Grande Maison, was built in 1754 for two families. On the lower ground floor an immense cheese cellar can be found. Jean-David Henchoz, the general contractor, attempted to make this a cheese commerce center. From 1857 to 1976, the building was converted into a hotel, where Victor Hugo once spent time. The painter, Balthus bought the building in 1977. He lived and worked there until the end of his life in 2001.
