Les Cochonneries du Général

A unique place, steeped in local culture and history.

This emblematic place, known to all Thononese as « Prieuré », welcomed within its walls at the end of the 19th beginning of the 20th century the Marin-Lamelet biscuit factory at the origin of the biscuit from Thonon, a local specialty derived from Savoy cake. It was then taken over by the Hotel from Europe, the entrance of which was located on the ground floor on the Grande rue side. They say that one of the rooms was once occupied by the Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, count of Mirabeau who would have practiced libertinism there excessively.
