"Yannick Alléno has trodden a remarkable path! At one great restaurant after another, the chef from the Paris region has always been adept at channelling his passion into fulfilling his ambition. Within the Hôtel Cheval Blanc, he regales a few lucky diners (just five tables) with a striking repertoire of contemporary cuisine, in which creativity and audacity are entirely guided by the quest for flavours. The Savoie region is shown in its best light through his use of superb ingredients, each of these edible treasures being prepared with the greatest care. This chef's true passion are his sauces, which are truly unforgettable – they are the fruit of a long-term labour of love revolving around extraction and fermentation, as well as consummate technical skill: a master class in haute cuisine." - Michelin Inspector
"The French ski resort of Courchevel 1850 is an adventurer’s paradise, known for its challenging black runs and off-piste terrain. Inside the four walls of this nouveau Alpine lodge, however, interior designer Sybille de Margerie has created a cocoon of coziness—cashmere and furs, cuckoo clocks and fluffy sheep sculptures, with a warm signature scent of orange, cardamom, amber, and patchouli wafting through the halls. After a day out on the slopes, weary skiers can retreat to the hotel’s Russian banya, hammam, or infinity-edge indoor pool. Or, better yet, spend a few hours traversing through the innovative tasting menu at chef Yannick Alléno’s Le 1947, the only three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Courchevel."
