Courchevel 1300, 1550, 1650, 1850 changing their names?

Posted Mon 03 Oct 2011

I missed this!

Google translation from the Courchevel Mairee site:

As part of the promotion and marketing of the resort, especially abroad, it became apparent that the present name of towns, referring to the altitude, gave a pejorative image at lower levels. Also, the council decided to change the current names: the new names become: For Courchevel 1850 Courchevel For Courchevel 1650 Courchevel Moriond For Courchevel 1550 Courchevel Village For Praz Courchevel Le Praz Saint-Bon Courchevel Saint Bon (chief town)

Not sure what gave a pejorative image is either!
