In the space of one season, Bar Le Jump has become the workers' choice for a drink in 1850.

Owners Tim and Janey told Natives they were delighted with its success.  'We have deliberately employed either French or French-speaking staff and don't have a happy hour. This means that we have been able to attract not just workers, but also a French clientele.'

The mix seems to have worked well.  So well in fact that the Courchevel Enquirer recently suggested that the downstairs relaxation area (for hotel guests next door) should be set aside for resort staff!
