What Mairie de Megève does

Mairie de Megève (legally Commune de Megève) is the municipal government of Megève, a French Alpine commune located in the Haute-Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Founded as a commune in 1836 and reorganized under its current mayoral administration in 2026 under Jean-Noël Picot, it operates as a local government entity (not a private company) funded through local taxation, service fees, and tourism-related revenue. The commune serves a population of permanent residents, seasonal workers, tourists, local businesses (hotels, restaurants, shops, ski operators), and the agricultural sector across the Megève territory.

Its core operational "product" is a digital civic platform anchored at mairie.megeve.fr, developed by the digital agency Koredge and hosted on OVH infrastructure. The platform bundles online administrative procedures (Démarches en Ligne), the official municipal bulletin (Lettre de Megève), political transparency modules (La Vie Politique), a comprehensive services directory (Les Services de la Commune), real-time shuttle tracking (Meg'bus Temps Réel), a classifieds system (Petites Annonces), mobile applications, an email newsletter, and an emergency preparedness/alert system (Plan Communal de Sauvegarde & Téléalerte). The site is CNIL-compliant under French data-protection law. Physical service channels include the town hall at 1 place de l'Église, the municipal police station, the gendarmerie, the Megève Tourisme visitor office, La Poste, the Aéro Club flying school, and the Croix Rouge local unit.

The revenue model is tax-funded rather than market-priced: primary streams are local taxation (taxe foncière, taxe d'habitation, CFE/CVAE from enterprises), administrative service fees and permit charges, parking revenue (via wholly-owned subsidiary Megève Parkings), and tourism-related revenue from the ski domain (via Megève Domaine Skiable), cultural venue Le Palais, and the official tourism office Megève Tourisme. The go-to-market is direct-to-citizen via in-person town hall services, online self-serve procedures, and community engagement (public meetings, Facebook live streams, printed bulletin). The commune is part of the Communauté de Communes du Pays du Mont Blanc (CCPMB) intercommunal structure, which coordinates regional transport, renovation assistance, and environmental programs. Strategic positioning is reinforced by a stack of certifications (Fleur d'Or, Marianne d'or, Flocon vert, BOTA/Best of The Alps, France Services, Terre de Jeux 2024) and a sister-city relationship with Oberstdorf, Germany.
