The Domaine du Lac d'Ailette, with its colourful cottages in Canadian style, is located directly next to the cellars of the Maisons de Champagne. It offers accommodation for 4 to 8 people, in the middle of the woods or by the lake with its beach. The estate offers a wide range of activities for young and old. With its Aqua Mundo, pony rides, adventure course, parent-and-child SPA tandem and water sports, the estate allows families and friends to enjoy a holiday combining relaxation, sport and wellbeing.
The lease renewals is planned for September 2025. In this context, the comfort features, decoration and furnishings will be updated to meet the growing expectations of rental customers. It is estimated that around 12 to 15 months' rent will be needed for this update.
Less than 2 hours from Paris, the Center Parcs de l'Ailette has the potential for 10 million visitors. Since 2007, it has attracted local and international tourists with resounding success. The proven concept of escape into nature, now sought after by an entire generation, is even more in demand. The unique environment, made up of water and leisure facilities, together with the brand's constant innovation, Center Parcs, make it an essential destination for families.
In addition, the large-scale investment by regions and institutional investors is reflected in an ambitious development plan: between 2021 and 2025, the 28 Center Parcs sites in Europe will benefit from an upgrade of the accommodation offer (65%) and a renewal of infrastructure (35%), for a total of 715 million €. This guarantees the sustainability of the investment and the estate's appeal for years to come.
The annual occupancy rate is among the highest in the tourism sector, reaching nearly 75%, which considerably reduces the effects of seasonality. Furthermore, 7 visitors out of 10 return within 5 years, thereby demonstrating an exceptional customer loyalty rate. With 85% of tourist bookings made through direct sales, there is no intermediary, which guarantees a long-term profitable investment.
On the investmentside, the continuity of operations and the successive lease renewals reinforce the attractive and heritage character of the Domaine du Lac d'Ailette, making it a long-term asset for any investment portfolio.
