Château de Chaumont

What Château de Chaumont does

Château de Chaumont is a privately owned historic estate in Chaumont-sur-Yonne, Burgundy (Yonne department), approximately one hour from Paris. The company operates the château as an exclusive-use event venue, renting its grounds, event halls, and on-site accommodation to private clients. Core physical assets include a 14-hectare wooded park, multiple event spaces (the La Rotunde hall accommodating up to 750 seated / 1,200 cocktail, the Salle Panoramiques for 100 seated, plus the Salon des Princes, L'Orangerie, Carpe Diem, and Salon d'Honneur), a 600 m² terrace, and 34 guest rooms housing up to 120 guests with PMR-accessible options.

The primary revenue streams are one-time event venue rentals and on-site accommodation bookings, both delivered under quote-based pricing with no publicly disclosed tiers and no formal sales motion. The company serves three core use-case segments: weddings and family religious celebrations (French ceremonies plus baptisms, communions); Jewish religious events such as Bar Mitzvahs, Brit Milah, and Shabbat celebrations, supported by referral partnerships with Vacationkosher and Hôtel Cacher; and corporate seminars and team retreats. Distribution is exclusively direct via website contact forms, email ([email protected] and [email protected]), and phone. There is no online payment or booking system and no third-party reseller channel.

The business is run by a 5-person family-led team led by owner David Hassouni, who has continuously invested in the property since purchasing and renovating it in 1988. The venue is vendor-agnostic, providing clients the freedom to select their own caterers, decorators, photographers, and entertainers, while also maintaining a curated partner directory. The estate holds no certifications or public regulatory disclosures and has no parent company, subsidiaries, or funding rounds on record.
