Domaine des Ormes

Introducing Domaine des Ormes

Ideally situated between St Malo and Mont St Michel, the Domaine des Ormes is nestled in 200 hectares of lush parkland. This family-run site has been managed for almost 40 years by the de La Chesnais family, who do everything in their power to make visitors' stay exceptional, notably through the diversity of accommodation (château, gîtes, cottages, tree and water houses...) and the many activities on offer (water park "le dôme", waterski lift, accrobranche, equestrian center, golf...).

The project

In 2014, keen to meet its customers' expectations ever more effectively, the management of Les Ormes chose to place its trust in Wifirst to equip itself with a Fiber and WiFi solution.

Deployed in 2015, the Wifirst solution offers uncompromising coverage across the entire estate for users.

With Wifirst, Domaine des Ormes can guarantee its customers a high-speed Internet connection all year round, at any time of the day, even at the height of the season!

Challenges met

• Bringing fiber to white zones:
  Wishing to benefit from a powerful and reliable solution that could meet the requirements of its customers, Domaine des Ormes opted for Fiber. Together, the Les Ormes and Wifirst teams researched the various solutions that would enable the Domaine to access Fiber. As a result, nearly 5 kilometers of fiber were laid overhead and underground to the Domaine.

• WiFi coverage for almost 200 hectares:
  On the technical front, Wifirst's teams were able to guarantee excellent radio coverage in every corner of the estate. The technicians in charge of deploying the network took into account the specificities of the different areas (outdoor/indoor), each calling on very distinct expertise.

• Guaranteeing 24/7/365 service:
  Le Domaine des Ormes never sleeps! At the height of the season, our teams can welcome up to 4,000 visitors. Out of season, the Wifirst solution can also meet the specific connectivity needs of its professional clientele, during seminars or other corporate events. To keep pace with its customers' evolving needs, Domaines des Ormes has a scalable solution enabling it to go from 200 to 500 megas during the season, depending on the number of visitors to the site. Wifirst ensures 24/7 supervision of all active equipment installed, and has made commitments on service availability and fault resolution. This promise is made possible by the rigor and organization of its technicians.
