LesPEP64

What LesPEP64 does

LesPEP64 is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) headquartered in Billère that delivers educational, leisure, social, medico-social, and health services to people with disabilities across the Pyrénées-Atlantiques (64) and Landes (40) departments. The organization operates as the departmental branch of the national Fédération des PEP and is regionally coordinated under ARPEP Nouvelle Aquitaine, with its activities governed by a 2023-2027 Projet Associatif. Its service portfolio spans a Therapeutic Educational Institute (DITEP Gérard Forgues), a Sheltered Employment Establishment (Esat Recur), training programs (Offre de Formation), and a participatory governance structure that includes a Citizen Participation Committee (CAPC), an ethics committee, and a CSE, all under the presidency of Christian Espil.

The association's core activities are delivered directly through its own establishments and facilities, with revenue mechanics rooted in the French social security and medico-social financing system rather than commercial pricing. Recent programmatic additions include the May 2026 opening of Bistrot L'Insolite, an inclusive café/social enterprise in Pau, and the March 2026 'Projet Mêlée' corporate inclusion program delivered with Aviron Bayonnais Rugby Pro and named local enterprises (Galeries Lafayette, Malakoff Humanis, SAS Jean Goyti, Bastidarra). Distribution is primarily regional and direct, supplemented by a website (pep64.org), a periodic newsletter, and community events; there is no technology platform, no app, and no AI/ML product surface. The technology stack is limited to standard web publishing and GDPR-compliant data handling.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• APF France Handicap: National association providing services, advocacy and medico-social establishments for people with physical disabilities. Comparable in mission and association-governance model, with overlapping vocational inclusion and adapted-sport programs at national scale.
• UNAPEI: National federation of associations for the protection and advocacy of people with intellectual disabilities. Comparable as the broader umbrella network above departmental ADAPEI members, structurally analogous to how the Fédération des PEP sits above LesPEP64.

Direct peers

• APAJH 64 / 40: Association Pour Adultes et Jeunes Handicapés, operating medico-social services in the same Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Comparable because it serves the same disability populations across education, professional inclusion, and social support devices under the French association loi 1901 framework.
• ADAPEI des Pyrénées-Atlantiques: Departmental association providing services and advocacy for people with intellectual disabilities in the same Pyrénées-Atlantiques territory. Directly comparable because both run medico-social establishments (foyers, ESATs, IME) for overlapping populations in the same department.
• Les PEP 33 (Gironde): Sister departmental PEP association in the same Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Directly comparable in service mix (DITEP, ESAT, social inclusion) and operating model, providing a benchmark for scaling, staffing, and funding outcomes.
• ARPEP Nouvelle-Aquitaine (parent body): Regional PEP federation of which LesPEP64 is a member. Directly comparable in scope and offerings, but operating at a regional level across multiple departments rather than a single departmental footprint.

Others

• Fondation Perspectives d'Avenirs: French foundation supporting professional inclusion of people with disabilities. Adjacent comparator as a complementary funding/governance structure rather than a direct service competitor, useful for benchmarking employer-engagement models similar to LesPEP64's Projet Mêlée.

Emerging players

• Mutualité Française Nouvelle-Aquitaine: Regional mutual operator running selected medico-social and inclusion services in the same geography. Partial overlap: both run social-enterprise-type inclusion venues and disability programs under the broader French social economy.
