Château d’Ermenonville

What Château d’Ermenonville does

Château d'Ermenonville is a private French hospitality business operating a 55-room boutique château hotel and fine-dining restaurant in Ermenonville, Oise, approximately 40 minutes from Paris and 20 minutes from Paris-CDG. The property, classified as a Monument Historique since 1930, sits on an 18-hectare English-style parkland with an ornamental lake and offers individually decorated rooms and suites, La Table du Château (a seasonal French gastronomy restaurant with terrace dining), wellness and spa treatments, and outdoor activities including bike rental, rowing, and team-building programs. It is positioned as a leisure and event destination rather than a transit hotel, with proximity to Mer de Sable, Parc Astérix, and the Scandibérique cycling route as demand drivers.

The company's revenue model is multi-stream and transactional. It monetizes nightly room and suite bookings (flexible and non-refundable rate tiers, deposit equal to first night, best-rate guarantee via direct website), restaurant covers via the TheFork widget, private event hire for weddings up to 110 guests and private receptions across seven reception rooms, a 510m² terrace, and a ceremonial courtyard, plus corporate seminars up to 160 attendees with hybrid full-day, half-day, residential, and semi-residential packages quoted by a dedicated commercial team. Secondary revenue comes from wellness treatments (facial and body massage, 30 minutes to 2 hours), activity rentals, and gift boxes sold via the Secretbox platform. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes for seminars, weddings, and groups are negotiated.

Distribution combines direct (official website, phone, email, dedicated commercial sales team), GDS connectivity (Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre, Worldspan under chain code FG), TheFork for restaurant reservations, and partnership-based cross-promotion with Mer de Sable and Parc Astérix. The property has been part of the Terres de Natures sustainable hospitality label since 2022, joining a curated network that includes wine estates such as Château Guiraud and Château des Bachelards. Customer segments are couples and romantic travelers, families, corporate groups, wedding parties, and fine-dining patrons. The company is privately held under the Terres de Natures label (led by entrepreneur Matthieu Gufflet), with no institutional investors or funding rounds disclosed.
