Maison Villeneuve: Innovative Products for an Equally Innovative Concept
Maison Villeneuve makes it a priority to ensure that every guest feels comfortable, whether for a stay or an event. The green surroundings, refined décor, and quality services all contribute to this. In line with the venue’s unique concept, the owners wanted to offer their guests a duo foosball table from the Origin range. This product, often surprising due to its playing format and outdoor usability, is appreciated by both types of clientele the venue attracts. Maison Villeneuve also chose to include ping pong to foster conviviality, selecting the Origin ping pong table.
3 Questions with Juliette and Richard Louis, Founders of Maison Villeneuve
What is Maison Villeneuve? And what is your concept?
Maison Villeneuve is an exceptional estate located in Normandy, nestled in a park surrounded by breathtaking landscapes.
The estate consists of a 19th-century château, a contemporary swimming pool, and three upscale lodges featuring Nordic baths and saunas. We host private and corporate events, as well as short stays in the lodges for guests seeking a true escape.
"We were looking for products of impeccable quality, able to remain outdoors all year round. We share the same values as Cornilleau—French know-how, design, and the joy of conviviality."
Which Cornilleau products did you choose, and why?
We chose two of the brand’s iconic products: the Origin outdoor ping pong table and the Origin duo outdoor foosball table. These products have the advantage of being high-end while breaking away from the usual standards.
Our clientele is urban and family-oriented, seeking outdoor activities that appeal to both children and adults. The ping pong table is perfect for the estate as it serves a dual purpose: a game table that transforms into a dining table. This versatility is ideally suited to our constraints, particularly in terms of space, as hospitality professionals. The table is also perfect for summer barbecues by the pool. When we discovered the Origin foosball table in its duo format, we immediately wanted to include it in the estate—not only because its design blends perfectly with the identity of our lodges, but also because it offers a unique, fun, and highly accessible gaming experience.
These products are also greatly appreciated by our business clientele, who enjoy unwinding between meetings or in the evening before dinner.
What do they add to your offer?
The products we chose bring conviviality to our estate. They allow guests to have fun and enjoy the outdoors without leaving Maison Villeneuve. After a full season of use, we can see that they are highly appreciated by all types of guests.
The ping pong table and foosball table appeal to vacationers of all ages and are used at any time of day. Business guests do not always have the time to go out for an activity, but with ping pong and foosball they can take a break or enjoy themselves after a day of work. This gives them a chance to escape and relax in a short amount of time.
These products create connections both by their very nature and through their warm design. This is especially evident during seminars, where they play a genuine team-building role, helping people discover one another from a different perspective.
Another advantage of the ping pong and foosball tables is that they require very little maintenance. We can leave them for free use, simply covering them at night, but nothing more.
