After a career in Shanghai, Julie has just taken over the 1647 at the summit of the Plateau de Beauregard. Julie was born in Lyon in a French-Taiwanese family and is married to a native of Annecy. She felt the need to renew contact with the peaceful and authentic life on offer in the region.
How do you combine your international experience with local savoyard cuisine ?
When we were in China, we had access to a wide range of very good ingredients, but most of them came from abroad, and we found the resulting carbon footprint frus- trating. With the concept of local produce «from the farm to the dining table», we can at last buy directly from nearby farmers and enjoy great tastes without polluting the planet!
They must be close by geographically to guarantee short supply chains, to provide high quality and traceability of products. If they also share our values of conviviality, simplicity and sharing, then so much the better! You also have a rich programme of activities and events.
We have yoga on the panoramic terrace, pre-dinner drinks with a DJ, activities for children, cocktail creation workshops and gastronomic tastings, live sport on a big screen… More than a restaurant, the 1647 is a living space. We would also like to bring new dynamism to the Plateau de Beauregard, where hikers, athletes, farmers and wild and Alpine animals co-exist. It’s an incredible living space!
