Section 03

Scenarios, revenue & return

Five ways to use 953 m² of habitable space, 500 m² of outbuildings, a chapel and three runways. Every number below is editable — change a price, an occupancy or a capex line and the model recalculates instantly. Then ask the AI analyst to stress-test your assumptions against real French rural hospitality benchmarks and tell you the maximum price at which the scenario still works.

You live in the château, let the gîte and the wing flat year-round, and host a handful of whole-property weeks in summer. Minimal staff, minimal compliance, lifestyle-first.
