Designing real estate that creates lasting value — for people and for the environment

The Maisons Familiales Rurales network is distinguished, as its name suggests, by its rural locations. This means that our training centres are situated at varying distances from major urban centres. In a highly competitive training sector, such locations may seem unlikely to appeal to the young (and not-so-young) people we welcome. The MFR in Maltot is situated a few kilometres from Caen, with no means of getting there other than by road. Whilst it certainly trains future professionals in agriculture or landscaping – who, by nature, are familiar with rural life – it also trains future professionals in personal care, security or sales, who might be more attracted to a more urban training programme. Yet our site attracts young people, and once they are here, they feel at home. We believe that the site itself plays a significant role in this sense of satisfaction: the Château de Maltot.
