Megeve, France (ski resort)

I'm in the French Alps in the upscale ski resort of Megeve (population 3,000). Wanting to have a French alternative to ritzy St. Moritz (Switzerland), the famous Rothschild family led the exodus in the 1920's to this place.   
Town center with vendors setting up for a market.  
Town center is a pedestrian-only zone. Many of the restaurants have flower-lined terraces.
Upscale shops such as Hermes have outposts here.
View of hillside.
More town center.
A creek meanders through town.
View of another hillside.
Wasn't expecting to find a McDonald's WITH a drive-through here in Megeve. 
Heading down the mountain. 
More heading down the mountain.

 View looking up from the town of Sallanches (population 16,000) on the valley floor.
