Chamonix, France: Hatchback Rental
The most popular models representing the mini, compact, and economy car segments in Chamonix are: Peugeot 107, Toyota Aygo, Hyundai Atos, Mini Classic, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent and others.

When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in France vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.

If your routes in France are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.

At the rental office in Chamonix, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe and great trip to Chamonix!

Sightseeing of Chamonix, France
During Christmas holidays, families would have a great time, as rich and interesting entertainment programs are usually arranged there. Summer in Chamonix is associated with Cosmo Jazz music festival; it usually starts in the second half of July and lasts for five days. Jazz Festival is a young festival; it was first held in 2010.
Large outdoor stages with numerous viewing points are mounted on the eve of festival. Guests would have a unique opportunity to enjoy their favorite music while admiring the beautiful mountain scenery. The festival features incredible atmosphere of cordiality.

The idea of ​​organizing a music festival belongs to André Manoukian. In 2010, the event lasted only a couple of days. It has immediately caught the attention of many travelers, so next year it was decided to expand the festival program to five days. The festival involved musicians from all over the world. Cosmo Jazz is a real chance to see your favorite performers and enjoy atmosphere of the resort.

It’s worth noting that all festival events are absolutely free. The only thing to take care is about having ski passes to be able to visit all interesting concerts. Professional photographers know Chamonix primarily as the birthplace of photocross. It is an unusual sport, which involves a high-speed orienteering and shooting spectacular images; the international championship in this unusual sport has been held in Chamonix every year, since 2005.
