Jacques Labro, renowned architect who founded Avoriaz

As the lyricist who wrote , Jacques Labro so rightly recalled, Jacques Labro was known as an architect and town planner. In the sixties, he designed the Avoriaz ski resort, in Haute-Savoie. This is one of the projects that allowed him to make a name for himself in the industry. And this very early since it was his first commission after his architectural studies at the Lemaresquier workshop at the School of Fine Arts in Paris. In 1961, he was even awarded the Prix de Rome, a scholarship for art students.

All our condolences to the loved ones of Jacques Labro.
