Les Domaines de Fontenille announces the entry of two partners into its capital: the LVMH group and Anaïs Ventures. This minority investment marks a strategic step in the development of this collection of hotels and estates, already established in France, Spain, and Italy.
With this investment, Les Domaines de Fontenille reaffirm their commitment to offering stays focused on the preservation of heritage and eco-responsibility. Founded by Frédéric Biousse and Guillaume Foucher, the hotel collection follows an approach aimed at preserving the French art of living, renovating historic sites, and adhering to strict environmental standards.
Continuous Expansion
Les Domaines de Fontenille, which currently has 11 properties across France, Spain, and Italy, continue their development. Recent openings include Domaine de Primard, near Paris, and Fontenille Menorca, in Minorca. Other projects are already underway, including a hotel in Perros-Guirec (Brittany), expected to open in the spring of 2025, and a five-star hotel in Aix-en-Provence, slated for 2026. Since the opening of their first property in the Luberon, the brand has attracted a clientele seeking experiences that combine comfort with the discovery of local territories.
Strategic Development and Strengthened Commitment
In 2023, Les Domaines de Fontenille obtained the status of a "Société à Mission." With this new investment, the company plans to acquire and renovate new exceptional sites, ensuring strict adherence to environmental standards while preserving the identity of these locations.
