The area in the centre of Praz-sur-Arly around the church and tourist office is being re-developed to create a pedestrianised town square with new shops, affordable accommodation and a medical centre.
With work on the first building – Chalet Sylvand – complete, work on the rest has started in the space on the Albertville side of town previously occupied by two hotels that closed years ago. Apparently 6 of the 7 commercial units have already been claimed, and include a wine bar, creperie and furniture workshop.
