Ferme de la haute maison

What Ferme de la haute maison does

Ferme de la Haute Maison is a privately held French hospitality and events business operating from a rehabilitated historic estate in Saint-Loup-de-Naud, Seine-et-Marne (Île-de-France), approximately one hour by car from Paris. The site sits on a former 10th-century Benedictine priory, itself built on the probable location of a Roman villa, and retains a 15th-century watchtower; agricultural operations ceased in the 1970s and rehabilitation into a hospitality venue began in 2004.

The company's offering combines two indoor event halls and three accommodation formats on a single domain. Reception capacity is anchored by the 200 m² Grande Salle (a renovated barn under original timber trusses, accommodating up to 150 seated or 180 standing guests with a 25 m² caterer's office and direct access to a 2,000 m² garden and terrace) and the 90 m² Petite Salle (accommodating up to 85, ground-floor of the guest house, fully wheelchair-accessible). Accommodation comprises five themed bed-and-breakfast rooms (L'Exotique, L'Italienne, La Rustique, La Romantique, La Louis XVI), a rural gîte for up to 15 guests, and a six-bed dormitory, for a total of 36 on-site beds plus camping capacity. À la carte add-ons include a full AV equipment pack (videoprojector, ambient lighting, wireless microphones, speakers) at €240/day, a flat €360 cleaning fee, breakfast at €9/person, and conference TV / individual equipment rentals.

Revenue is generated through one-time rentals of accommodation and halls, plus transactional equipment and breakfast add-ons, all TTC. Distribution is exclusively direct via the company's website (fdhm.fr), which provides 24/7 online booking and a session-based client portal, supplemented by email/phone-driven custom quoting for corporate seminars and complex events. GTM is hybrid: direct-to-consumer for private celebrations, sales-led (48-hour response) for corporate seminars and team-building, and event-driven via a public agenda of concerts, theater and exhibitions. Customer segments are private individuals (weddings, anniversaries), corporate teams (seminars, residential team events), and associations/groups. A curated partner network of local caterers, florists, photographers, wedding planners, officiants, transport and entertainers feeds referrals, and the venue maintains a formal RSE policy covering environment, territorial economy, heritage, and inclusion for 2024-2026.
