Lullin

Lullin

Lullin is a small town in the French region of Haute Savoie. There is a post office/bank run by the French national mail company, La Poste, a "Huit à Huit" convenience store, a large bricolage shop, two bars/restaurants/hotels - "The Union" and "The Post", a local sports, skiing and social club; a bakery, village primary school and other facilities. It also has a church, which was reconstructed early in the twentieth century after being previously destroyed in a fire.

More and more of the younger natives of Lullin are seeking lucrative employment in the neighbouring Swiss canton of Geneva or elsewhere in more built up areas of the region like the capital city of Haute Savoie, Annecy. Several dwellings in the village are owned by Swiss, Dutch and even British newcomers. But the village people and their near neighbours still continue their traditions. Skiing is a very popular winter pastime when the whole valley is covered in snow, and in summer, hill walking and cycling are popular pursuits. Lullin has its own tennis courts and football pitch that the local children use as well as a social club used by people of all ages.

Lullin still remains a very traditional French town. Typical foods such as Fondue, Tartiflette and Raclette are eaten on a regular basis.
