Choeurs de France

What Choeurs de France does

Chœurs de France (legal name: Les Chœurs de France) is a French non-profit choral federation headquartered at 38, rue Saint-Lambert, 75015 Paris, founded in 1986. The federation aggregates seven regional choirs — Chœur de France Atlantique, Paris, Pays de la Loire, Bourgogne, Picardie, Méditerranée, and Rhône-Alpes — each led by a designated president, providing amateur singers access to weekly regional rehearsals and the capacity to mount large-scale national concerts. Major productions have featured approximately 1,000 choristers performing at venues such as the Zénith de Paris, Halle Tony Garnier in Lyon, and Grand Rex Paris, with historical repertoires including tributes to French-language artists such as Aznavour, Brel, and Goldman.

The business model is event- and membership-driven: revenue (undisclosed) is presumed to derive from chorister membership fees, ticketed concerts, the annual Semaine Chantante festival held in Les Carroz d'Arâches (Haute-Savoie), and visibility associated with recurring French broadcast appearances on shows including Vivement Dimanche (France 2), Télématin (France 2), 300 choeurs (France 3), and TF1 news. Distribution is primarily event-driven: weekly regional rehearsals, large national concerts, the annual week-long singing festival, and national TV exposure. Marketing relies on the choeurs-de-france.fr website, regional Facebook pages, regional French press coverage (Ouest-France, Sud Ouest, Le Dauphiné Libéré, Le Courrier Picard, La Provence, Le Bien Public), and the broadcast appearances noted above.

The organization operates with a lean team of approximately 9 employees and reports contact access via Jérôme Dallière at the national level. Affiliated external choirs (Le Chœur Val de Saône, Le Chœur du Pilat, Coup d'Chœur) and charity-event partners (three Lions Club chapters around Bordeaux) operate as 'ami' or GTM-style partnerships rather than wholly owned subsidiaries. There are no venture, private equity, or institutional investors disclosed, no public listing, no mobile application, no disclosed proprietary technology stack, and the website is currently described as 'en cours de reconstruction' as of January 2026.
