Since the 19th century, and accurately since 1890, the CHOLLETON's name is well known worldwide as a guarantee of quality for the equipment of Private Residences including prestigious Mansions and Palaces as for Hotels and restaurants, or Official - Institutional Buildings, Corporate offices and hospitalities.

Entrance of the factory in 1919, Rue du Dragon, 75006 PARIS.

The first establishment was originally started in Paris in the famous "Saint Germain des Prés" area under the name of Jules Flouron, a relative of Georges Cholleton senior who managed it after his return from World war I, from 1919 to his death in 1956, it was then operated by his son Pierre Cholleton (a former officer from the French free forces during Worldwar II and during war in French Indochina) till 1978 year of his disparition.
Over the 20th century CHOLLETON became one of the main french company specialised into outside blinds, awnings and canvas as one the very first globally specialised into blackout as flame retardant fabrics for hotels and hospitalities curtaining.

Already in the 60's and the 70's Cholleton's blackout fabrics were specified all over Europe, including the ex SSRU, in Africa or Middle East as for prestigious hotel contracts in the Far East.

Over a hundred years, the CHOLLETON company became also one the very first globally specialised into blackout as flame retardant fabrics for hotels and hospitalities curtaining. It was already involved at that time into major hotel projects all over the world, such as Hotel Cosmos Moscow in Soviet Union, Hyatt hotel in Bangkok, Orchard Hotel in Singapore, first Meridien Hotels in Saudi Arabia as former UTH hotels (which was the roots of Air France Hotels group) all over Africa, Middle East and Far East as Ivory InterContinental hotel in Abidjan - Ivory Coast or several Hilton and Sheraton hotels in France and abroad.

Tissus and Stores Cholleton (Cholleton Blinds and Fabrics) was also the supplier of prestigious customers such as the French National Assembly (French National Parliament) ,the Palace of The Elysée (Housing and offices from the President of the French Republic), the RITZ and BRISTOL hotels in Paris, or the NEGRESCO in Nice as numerous four and five stars hotels in France and all over Europe.

From 1978 to 1982 the group went throught a major reorganisation following the disparition of Pierre Cholleton and his son Georges P. Cholleton was the one who decided from 1982, after having met the just-new owner at that time of Trafford carpets UK the re-orientation into the contract carpet world and more specifically into axminster contract carpets for hotels and hospitalities.
