French term or phrase: Chalet Intersport Jean-Michel Sports
Hi all,

Basically I am having trouble parsing this term. I am not sure if the whole thing is a proper name, or if just "Intersport Jean-Michel Sports" is the proper name, or if intersport is a more generic term I am not familiar with, or some other permutation! I could really use your help. This is part of a website for a ski resort.

Chalet Intersport Jean Michel Sports
Explanation:
"Intersport" is the name of the chain and "Jean Michel Sports" is the name of the shop by itself.

Intersport was formerly "la hutte intersport" that turned into "intersport" few years ago. It is a franchise. Therefore the owner can keep the name of the shop and add intersport to it.
Here is the website of the shop and several others...

Intersport Jean Michel Sports


Explanation:
I checked on the official website and Intersport is a brand of sports clothing. Jean Michel Sports is a franchise of the brand in Montchavin.

It sounds like the Mont Blanc apartment is in the same chalet as the shop but on the floor above it?

agree  writeaway: absolutely. now it's a franchise. / not only in France......../well Mont Blanc is a bit of giveaway that the store being asked about is in France. The trick is to understand what Intersport is (dur dur);-)
1 hr
  -> Thanks! Yes it is a franchise and there are a bunch of them in France. Big stores are just called Intersport and medium/small ones can keep their name & add the brand name to it/ Yes but here it refers to France (La Plagne)
