Loulou, the most elegant of Parisian restaurants, is making its way to Courchevel at the Palace Barrière Les Neiges, a dreamy destination where winter promises to be magical.
From December 6th, 2024, Loulou will unveil its art of entertaining in France’s most iconic ski resort, Courchevel 1850, where eternal sophistication goes hand in hand with the delights of the great outdoors.
Nestled behind a vast curtain that extends over two floors, Loulou Courchevel is a unique place where Alpine traditions meet influences from around the world. The person responsible for the incredible ambience is interior architect Corinne Sachot, who has celebrated Savoyard culture through warm woodwork and curved seats with rounded backrests, which invite guests to relax and pick from the menu’s culinary delights or enjoy a long leisurely meal at Christmas or New Year.
It’s not only the ambience and food that lure visitors from around the globe. This idyllic mountain venue boasts beautiful views over the snow-covered Bellecôte run. Outside, the vast sun-drenched terrace beckons as it turns into a vibrant venue during the day with its selection of cocktails and DJ beats.
With its playful charm, Loulou is equally adept at switching things up. Whilst the mountain atmosphere awakens childhood memories of first ski trips, Loulou also invites guests on a journey to discover the Rocky Mountains.
The Food
Loulou’s classics, including truffle pizza and pasta al pomodoro, are showcased alongside Piedmont specialities to indulge in on your own or share. This is the perfect way to prepare the palate for the delicious dessert buffet, with plenty to delight children and adults alike… Loulou Courchevel has a lively feel all day, complemented by the comfortable settings of the bar and lounge, which are open from breakfast to late into the night for both hotel guests and non-residents.
Guests will love the warm and inviting atmosphere of the Palace Barrière Les Neiges, with its ski-in/ski-out access to the world’s largest ski area. Featuring 42 rooms and suites that blend contemporary style with authentic Savoyard charm, Les Neiges offers an experience where every detail has been thoughtfully designed on a delightfully human scale.
