An expert in insuring exceptional properties, Dominique de la Fouchardière provides tailored solutions for châteaux, listed historic monuments, collections, works of art and character homes, with or without a commercial activity, as well as upscale bed and breakfasts, events, shoots and weddings. His expertise as an insurer of historic monuments is recognized nationwide, and his experience makes him the preferred partner of several leading prestige insurance companies. More than 2,000 owners trust him.
His method is grounded in the field: he travels to the property and studies the right solutions with the owner, since knowing the place is what makes it possible to define the right policy. He insists on an accurate assessment of rebuilding costs, as standard policies are often unsuited to the value of old paneling and stonework, and works to prevent the risks linked to fire and climate change by raising owners' awareness of safety measures. He also supports families through major claims to obtain fair compensation, driven by the preservation of French heritage, which he sees as a living legacy.
A recognized figure in the field for several decades, he spoke at the 101st Congress of La Demeure Historique in Versailles, and SLA Verspieren, the firm he heads, is a patron of the prize for young buyers of a historic monument awarded by the Fondation Mérimée.
