Enhancing Heritage in the Digital Age

Our Story

Since 2020, Loc'Hall has been committed to promoting France's most beautiful heritage sites venues . But do you know how Loc'Hall, your privatization platform for prestigious professional events, came into being? Here's a look back at the creation of a company with a mission.

A French passion for the infinite richness of France's heritage. And a vision: that of Diane Domas de Crécy. This lover of French culture and treasures seizes every opportunity to explore the wonders of the country's heritage. Castles, manor houses, churches, everywhere. But also institutional museums of all sizes and the great futuristic vessels that have sprung from the imaginations of today's leading architects.

A heritage often open to the general public: for an exhibition, a retrospective, a concert, crowds flock. But these priceless buildings, while perfectly fulfilling their role as transmitters of history, seem confined to their memorial function.

A platform for B2B privatization

Gradually, an idea began to take shape in Diane's mind: what if she created a Web platform aimed at BtoB privatization? But online event agencies already exist, and lots of them. But what about a digital space dedicated exclusively to putting professionals in touch with venues ? Diane searches, searches... No, it doesn't exist.
Yet the need is real, and lies at the crossroads of a twofold equation:

01.

A need for venues heritage and culture

In the digital age, owners and managers of venues and French heritage institutions suffer from a huge problem of discoverability. They need partners to highlight their Spaces available to hire on the Web. But above all, they need the personalized support of real experts in heritage and cultural events.

02.

Demand from French and international companies

Companies are constantly on the lookout for venues exceptional venues for their promotional activities and prestige events. However, they are often held back by a plethora of proposals. But this overabundance of choice is too broad and too poorly targeted, hindering them in their quest for the ideal setting for their high-end business meetings. oject. In just a few clicks, you're put in touch with the venue, saving precious time in the organization of your event.

An association

In 2019, Diane meets Élisabeth Barbier. This marketing and communications specialist is just like her: like her, Élisabeth has a boundless love of heritage. They also share rigor, a strong sense of ethics and a taste for things accomplished. Together, they have set themselves a mission: to offer companies and managers of venues exceptional sites all the guarantees of a team of experts in the privatization of exclusive sites. Their field of excellence: prestige events that meet the exacting needs of managers and owners of venues heritage and cultural sites. The next step was obvious: in 2020, they joined forces to create Loc'Hall.

Since then, Loc'Hall has established itself as a genuine platform of influence, offering organizers and principals a lovingly curated collection of the finest venues heritage and cultural sites that can be privatized and opened to professional events. At the heart of their mission: to contribute to the preservation and enhancement of an exceptional heritage, by making it a major asset in corporate communications.
