VIC case study · Thomas & Sienna Laurent

Ten yearsof coming home.

How Airelles keeps its most valuable guests for the next ten: recognition before they ask, gifts that read like memories, and a year of stays that feels like one continuous welcome.

2016 → 20264 Maisons a year€1.1M+ annual value
2016

It began with a honeymoon at La Messardière.

Every year since

Snow in Courchevel, spring in Venice, summer by the sea.

The question

How do we make the next ten even more theirs?

A year with the Laurents

Four Maisons. One continuous welcome.

Assumption: the most prestigious accommodation at each Maison, 7 to 10 nights per stay, plus private dining and bespoke experiences.

Accommodation, year to date€0
Annual value of one VIC household
€1.1M

In accommodation alone, before food & beverage and Airelles Moments. Losing one such family costs more than most programmes spend in a year; keeping them is the programme.

Exclusive to VICs

Privileges that cannot be booked.

Special occasion gifting

A gift chosen by passion, not by budget.

Birthdays and anniversaries, celebrated with a bespoke gift drawn from what the Majordome has learned about each guest.

The stay, in three acts

Before, during, and long after.

Après séjour

The last word is handwritten.

A note from the General Manager, naming the moments the family loved, sent with a final gift to their home.
