Chamonix was our last stop on a tour of Europe that started 4 weeks earlier. Being returning customers we booked the Loulou apartment after receiving an email re: last minute discounted bookings. In terms of the booking process I cannot praise CAY highly enough - we were kept informed at every step (we did take a bit of time to decide on the finishing point of our trip) and the booking process was very efficient.
With regard to the apartment it is in an incredibly central location, off the Main Street but overlooking the river. This makes it very quiet in terms of noise form bars etc. Of course the river is fast flowing and is noisy but it is quite soothing and you can hardly hear it when the doors to the balcony are closed. There is a great view from the balcony of Mont Blanc and you will be happy sitting there gazing upwards towards the mountains.
The apartment has everything you need if you want to self-cater. I would point out that, as Summer visitors, the apartment can get quite warm as there is no air-con. The other thing to point out is that if you have any mobility issues this apartment will not be suitable; accessing the bed is via a steep ladder and the mezzanine roof is very low (you will not be able to stand). The lack of air-con means it can get pretty warm up there if you are a Summer visitor.
Overall, we really enjoyed our time there. The balcony by the river is a cool spot and the location meant everything that Chamonix has to offer is readily available. Having stayed with CAY previously I can wholeheartedly recommend them as a company to deal with.

We’ve had a wonderful summer week with Apartment Lou Lou as our base. This was our first time in Chamonix (we’re a married couple in our 50s, keen on hill waking and history).

You enter the building from one of the town’s busiest pedestrianised streets - packed with people, shops and restaurants - but inside the apartment you are totally sealed off from the bustle and noise. The only sound is the river right under the balcony - glacier meltwater hurtling loudly by. The balcony is blissfully cool in the hot midday, and a bit TOO cool in the evenings, but cosy blankets are helpfully provided. The only shame is a bushy tree that has grown up and blocked much of the view of Mont Blanc.

Inside everything is nicely clean and the wooden-panelled main room has big comfy sofas. The open plan kitchen is perfectly well equipped (except no dishwasher). There’s a folding table for indoor eating, though it’s in a poorly lit part of the room.

The small bathroom is well decorated and has loads of hot water. We didn’t mind the low ceiling in the mezzanine bedroom, and the king size bed (though creaky-noisy) has a great mattress.

We found the Chamonix All Year team a real pleasure to deal with - so friendly and efficient.

Right across the street are a well stocked mini-supermarket (Petit Casino) and a brilliant boulangerie (Chez Richard). We’re vegetarian and found plenty of restaurants that served us well - especially Atmosphere, a few doors from the apartment, where we had delicious fondue.

Parking in August was a hassle at times. We never found any of the free spots available. We parked in one of two multi-storeys - Michel or Mont Blanc - both about 10 mins’ walk from the apartment and about 22 Euros a night. (We’d got the train from London and hired a car from Geneva, but the buses and trains in Chamonix are so good we could probably have managed without it.)

We forked out 180 Euros per person on 7-day multi passes from Mont Blanc Natural Resort, which gave us access to all the cable cars and trains in the valley. It turned out to be a good buy. We used the passes 2 or 3 times a day to get cable cars to & from our mountain walks, as well as going up the breathtaking Aiguille du Midi.

The walking is sometimes challenging and totally magnificent. At every turn there’s yet another amazing view. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen - including the pretty chalets and farms on the lower slopes.

On a rainy day: drive or bus up to Plateau d’Assy to see the Church of Our Lady - built in the 1930s with decorations from top artists of the day - Matisse, Chagall, Leger, Bonnard. It really is a modern art gem.

Really enjoyed our stay in Apartment Lou Lou in February 2024. The location is amazing. I was a little worried it would be too close to the main street and be noisy, but the apartment is on the river side and very quiet. Love the terrace that looks out over the river. Apartment is well equipped. Wifi is adequate (not so good for posting bigger files like video though).

Lou Lou apartment couldn't be more perfectly positioned in the centre of Chamonix. Directly on the main pedestrian street, but at the back of the building so not only is it quite and peaceful, the balcony sits right on the river, giving a very welome breeze! (And the most amazing view of Mont Blanc too) A mini-market directly opposite and countless bars and retaurants within walking distance. Super handy for the Plan-Praz/Brevent lifts, the Augille du Midi and the train station. Inside there's everything you could possibly need - all the kitchen appliances you could want and a surprising amount of storage for such a compact appartment. Having visited in the summer we're now looking forward to booking again during winter, I can imagine the apartment would be the perfect cozy place after a day in the snow. Perfect all round!

The good points are that this property is located in a central place. The view from the balcony is good although the trees could be pruned to make it better. There was building materials and equipment left on the the balcony which did not create the right atmosphere. The mezzanine is difficult to access and you cannot stand up. We could live with that but unfortunately there was dust everywhere. If you ran your finger on a surface it would be covered in dust. I think the flooring was recently replaced which may have been the problem but the dust was everywhere. This spoilt the whole experience for us which was a shame. Some TLC and it could be a good apartment. Finally the staff were friendly and helpful.

Fantastic little studio right in the heart of town. Location could not be better. Inside it is extremely cosy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Unfortunately outside the first week in January it becomes a bit expensive for what it is (imo).

Location is probably the main selling point of this one, it's absolutely central to everything in Chamonix. Despite the location the apartment is very peaceful, there is no street noise and just a very low level background noise from the river which runs directly past the balcony.
The kitchen is nicely set up for cooking your own meals, plenty of decent sized pans, sharp knives etc which can often be lacking in self-catered accomodation. Nearest supermarket is approx 50m from the front door and this opens earlier than the bigger ones too.
The lounge area is very homely and comfortable. Getting up to the bedroom was no problem for me and there was just enough headroom for it not to be annoying. ChamonixAllYear were always very quick to respond to my questions and everyone I spoke to or met was friendly and helpful. I'd certainly consider staying in Lou Lou again and have no hesitation recommending ChamonixAllYear.

With my partner not being a skier, we needed something that would suit us both. For me, the apartment had a ski locker, was less than a 1 min walk to Chamonix Centre bus stop, giving access up/down the valley, and was on the doorstep to bars and restaurants. For my partner, the apartment was cosy, gave access to Chamonix town centre, and was a walk from the key tourist attractions in the area. TV and internet were good (could watch BBC Scotland!) and decent cooking facilities. Would definitely stay again. As noted by others, despite bring in town centre the apartment is very quiet and peaceful.

Thank you so much to all the staff at Chamonix All Year for making my first stay in Chamonix one to always remember, Lou Lou apartment had everything I needed and the view was breathtaking.

Perfect one bedroom apartment right in the heart of the town so close to everything but far enough away to have a very peaceful stay, love the good use of space in this apartment which offers to sleep 4 people if needed.

UK TV with Netflicks for a cosy night, made it feel like a home from home.

I will be back and will be booking Lou Lou again for sure.

We had a very enjoyable week at Lou Lou. Situated on the ground floor, right in the heart of Chamonix centre, yet very quiet with no noise from outside when the windows were closed. Excellent location for the many shops and restaurants and just a short walk to bus stops for ski lifts etc. The pretty river runs by the outside seating area at the back of the apartment which, although somewhat overlooked from the other side of the river, was not a problem for us. The accommodation itself was very authentic and comfortable, with plenty of space for two people, although you could sleep 4 people using the sofas in the lounge. The layout worked well, with plenty of storage space (including a separate lockable cupboard in the hallway for ski equipment etc). The mezzanine bedroom, although height restrictive (you can sit up, but not quite stand!), worked well with plenty of half height wardrobe space and sockets. A very good use of space. The kitchen was well equipped with appliances and utensils, although a microwave would have been useful and a few more wine glasses!. A warm alpine feel was created with lots of wood, fur throws and cushions. In all we had a really lovely week, and would happily return there. Chamonix All Year staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

We had a good stay in this lovely apartment. It's very well equipped and designed. The only thing we can complain about is the mattress upstairs. It was way to firm. After two nights, we rolled out the sofa bed and slept on it. Not too comfortable but way better than the mattress upstairs.

Overall Lou Lou apartment was very good, don't be put off by the mezzanine as really no problem.
The balcony was great & the views of Mont Blanc fantastic. We loved the location, very central for bars, restaurants & shops but still quiet when in apartment. Close to chair lifts too. Would say, entrance & hall area to apartment could do with some upgrading as could put some people off. There seemed to be a musty smell in apartment, we were very lucky as it was hot so, we opened up patio doors & smell soon disappeared.
We used CVT transfers from Geneva which were very good.
Would have no hesitation using Chamonix All Year & CVT for our next trip to Chamonix.

Thank you for your lovely review of Lou Lou Apartment. We are delighted that you enjoyed the central yet quiet location and the spectacular views. We agree that the entrance and hall area could be improved, unfortunately this is a communal area in the building so all the owners would have to decide to make the changes but we will keep trying! We are very pleased that our Resort Team and sister transport company Chamonix Valley Transfers could help you to make the most of your stay and hope to see you back again in the future. Since this review we are delighted to confirm that the source of the smell mentioned has been found and has been removed. Sales Manager 2018

We stayed in the Lou Lou apartment in Chamonix for two weeks. The town is amazing, and if you're going to Chamonix, you cannot find a better location, especially for the money. The large balcony is right on the river, making for very pleasant morning coffee or afternoon wine watching the river, saying hello to the rafters cruising down the river, and gazing at Mont Blanc and surrounding sights, from waterfall to glacier. Breathtaking! And, best of all, the apartment is completely quiet except for the sound of the river and yet exits right into the heart of Chamonix.

The apartment is small but much larger than a hotel room. The couch is super comfy, making for great naps and a good sleep for our six-foot son. The apartment is well stocked, clean, and pleasant. It has definite charm!

The folks at Chamonix All Year were fantastic throughout our visit. Great company!

Apartment Lou Lou is well located for the bars and restaurants in Chamonix Centre and the bus stop. The balcony looking out on the river is great.
I have stayed with Chamonix All Year before and their service is excellent. We arrived a few hours before the apartment was ready and were able to leave our luggage at their shop until it was ready. Really nice friendly service.

Great little apartment. Loved the location right on the river, with balcony where we could relax and watch the torrents with a blanket and a cup of tea on stormy days. Great central location, but feels 'away from it all'. Only downside was lots of bumped heads on extremely low mezzanine ceiling... Not something I am used to being just over 5 ft! Would definitely return though ( but may bring my ski helmet despite coming in the summer and wear it to bed!)

Thank you for your lovely review of Lou Lou apartment, we're very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the central yet peaceful location. Thanks also for the feedback about the mezzanine - unfortunately we can't change the height of the ceiling but we'll be sure to add this to the apartment description on our website to advise future guests about the limited head height. We hope to see you back again, for a ski holiday perhaps next time!
