Le Matafan — Restaurant in Bonneville

While we didn’t get to personally visit, I thought it would be of use for others to know our experience. My husband and I planned our trip to Chamonix around multiple places we wanted to visit and eat. We were so looking forward to eating here with the recommendations and research I had done.
