Lucie Trolonge
Operations Director
With Homanie since its founding
Languages spoken: French, English and Spanish
“A luxury home should above all be a place where you truly want to spend time and gather with family or friends.”
From marketing and property selection to managing relationships with property owners, Lucie oversees many aspects of Homanie’s development. She shares her insights on what makes a beautiful home truly exceptional, along with some of her personal favourites.
“As Director of Operations at Homanie, I oversee several key areas of the company’s development, including marketing, communications and the management of our property collection. I am responsible for the selection and onboarding of new homes, as well as showcasing them to our clients.
I also manage relationships with our property owners, oversee press relations and lead the development of our two websites. My role is primarily to coordinate these various activities, support our teams and ensure consistency across all our initiatives, with the aim of raising Homanie’s profile and showcasing our exceptional collection of homes.”
Her role at Homanie
her vision of the profession
“In my opinion, this role requires above all rigour, organisation and a genuine eye for detail. In the world of luxury, every element matters, from the selection of our properties to the way we present them to our clients. I place great importance on ensuring that our communications, brochures and websites faithfully reflect the quality and unique character of each home. Our relationships with property owners are equally essential. It is important to understand their expectations, showcase their properties and build lasting relationships. Finally, I believe management and team cohesion play a vital role. I am convinced that by sharing the same high standards and working together, we can deliver an experience that truly meets our clients’ expectations.”
Her Background Before Homanie
“My journey with Homanie began somewhat by chance. I first worked at L’Oréal in marketing, then at Tartine & Chocolat in merchandising, two experiences that allowed me to develop strong expertise in these fields. I then met Marie Treppoz, one of Homanie’s founders, who entrusted me with the marketing and sales management of her property in Cassis. Barely two months later, she suggested I meet her future business partner, Sophie, to introduce me to a new project. And that’s how the Homanie adventure began!”
A Memorable Moment at Homanie
“I have particularly fond memories of my first house visits, back in Homanie’s early days. I was amazed by their size, beauty and the incredible variety of properties. We got to discover extraordinary homes in Provence, by the sea and even in Paris, each with its own unique character.
The team offsites organised in our homes are also very special memories. We are incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to discover these places, stay in them and enjoy them together as a team.”
Her must-visit destinations
-
“Menorca is a destination I particularly love for its unspoilt nature and beautiful landscapes, which have largely escaped mass tourism. It’s a wonderful place for hiking, snorkelling and enjoying its crystal-clear waters. I also love its gastronomy, which is deeply rooted in local produce, from the island’s farm-made cheeses to its traditional cured meats.”
-
“Cadaqués is a truly charming destination that has managed to retain its authentic character. It boasts beautiful natural surroundings, crystal-clear waters and delicious Spanish cuisine, particularly its local wines and the region’s traditional rice dishes.”
-
“Paris is a city I never tire of, even after living here for so long. Every season has its own charm, and there is always something new to discover: a restaurant, a museum, an exhibition or a theatre performance. The city’s cultural richness is truly incredible.”
Her favorite villas
“Homanie Giverny is a beautiful country house just a stone’s throw from Paris, making it the perfect place to escape for a weekend or a few days. I love its charm in every season: warm and cosy in winter, it offers the perfect setting to enjoy the swimming pool, tennis court and expansive outdoor spaces in summer. Surrounded by lush greenery and imbued with a truly unique atmosphere, it has an almost enchanted estate feel that I find particularly appealing.”

Homanie Cadaqués Cap de Creus
“It is an exceptional home thanks to its seafront location, set within a beautifully preserved natural environment. The views from the bedrooms are like something out of a painting. I also love how close it is to the centre of Cadaqués and to the hiking trails of Cap de Creus. You can head out by boat, enjoy direct access to the sea and explore the world of Dalí, whose influence can still be felt throughout the village.”
Homanie Méribel Brames
“I love this chalet for its exceptional location, right in the heart of the Three Valleys ski area. You can ski straight in and out, surrounded by nothing but fir trees, with no other chalets nearby. The spaces are incredibly generous, the interior design is beautifully executed and the service is outstanding. Its peaceful setting, prime location and exceptional amenities make it a truly remarkable chalet.”
Questions for Lucie Trolonge
-
“We place great importance on understated luxury, reflected in the quality of the materials, furnishings and finishes, as well as the attention to detail. Location is equally essential, whether it offers exceptional views, an unspoilt natural setting, complete privacy or proximity to a village.
We also pay close attention to the amenities, activities available nearby and services offered on site. Beyond these criteria, what we are really looking for are properties with a genuine personality, that little something extra that makes them truly unique. It might be found in the craftsmanship and exquisite finishes of Homanie Minorca Santa Ana, or in the spectacular views of the Mediterranean offered by Homanie Cassis.”
-
“For me, it’s above all about creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A home should make you want to sink into the sofa, enjoy the outdoors or gather around a table with family and friends. A luxury home should be a place where you feel completely at ease and genuinely want to spend time. That’s what truly makes the difference.”
-
“Without a doubt, Homanie Paris Château! It’s a truly extraordinary property that once belonged to the creator of Inspector Gadget. Among its unique features are a medieval kitchen and a theatre, all set within a world inspired by the era of the Knights Templar.”
-
“I would spend it at Cadaqués Cap de Creus. I’d start the day with breakfast prepared by a private chef, before heading out for a hike or a swim in one of the secluded coves of Cap de Creus. I’d then enjoy a picnic by the water, followed by some time relaxing by the pool and soaking up the sun at the house. In the late afternoon, I’d wander through the streets of Cadaqués, browse a few boutiques and enjoy an aperitif on a terrace before heading back for dinner.”
