Restaurant 1647

What Restaurant 1647 does

Restaurant 1647 (Le 1647) is a mountain restaurant and event venue operating at 1647 meters altitude on the Plateau de Beauregard in La Clusaz, France. Originally founded by the Masson family in 1954 as Altitude 1647, the site reopened in summer 2021 under new owner-managers Thomas and Julie Gauthier following a complete renovation, and is operated as SAS BEAUREGARD 1647 with a €10,000 share capital and a 10-person team. The venue is reachable only by cable-car from La Clusaz or a 40-minute hike from Col de la Croix-Fry, and is accessible year-round for groups by reservation, with public service concentrated in the summer and winter ski seasons.

The core product is a farm-to-table restaurant using regional producers and breeders, served across multiple indoor and outdoor spaces totaling 300 outdoor seats and 250 indoor seats (cocktail configuration), including La Grande Terrasse (110 seats, 180-degree Aravis views), Le Bar Extérieur (70 seats), La Petite Terrasse (40 seats, 270-degree views), a 100-seat dining room, a 30-seat indoor bar, a 40-seat meeting room, and a 15-seat multifunction room. Ancillary revenue streams include private events and weddings (up to 220 banquet guests outdoor or 140 indoor), corporate seminars and team events (from €45/person), ticketed events (Apéro Thursdays, DJ sets with artists such as Mosimann, yoga retreats with Ashtanga Yoga Paris), a seasonal snack bar, and bar/beverage service. The technical stack is a Squarespace website with online booking, integrated Billetweb ticketing, Matterport/Kuula virtual tours, and a custom-designed eagle mascot (Edgar de Beauregard) for brand identity.

The business model is event-driven and transactional, with revenue generated on-site through per-cover pricing across multiple daypart formats (buffet, served meals, brasero/barbecue, cocktail), per-ticket event pricing (€15–€50), and package-based private and corporate event pricing (from €45/person). Distribution is entirely direct: website reservations, email newsletter, Instagram, and a dedicated commercial contact for corporate bookings. The venue holds a Famille Plus certification and 2023 Restaurant Guru Recommended status, with press coverage in Le Figaro Magazine, Maison & Jardin, Moka Food, and LaPresse.ca.
