Méribel has a lively après scene, and the resort is frequented by a large number of Brits (which can be a plus or minus depending on how you look at it).
La Folie Douce is the youth-attracting après bar in La Saulire Central Station, and by the end of the day, the mostly British-run bars in the center of the resort and around Rond Point are often packed with party-goers. Party. Later the action starts in places like Jack’s Bar and much later in O’Sullivans until dawn.
