Abstract (EN)
This chapter explores the impact of past and present British immigrants on the host communities of Chamonix in the French Alps. It gives an analysis of the material and cultural consequences of this immigration today and examines the motives for emigration — the search for economic improvement and the choice of a different lifestyle.
