Safer de l'Ile-de-France

What Safer de l'Ile-de-France does

Safer de l'Ile-de-France is a public-interest land operator established in 2000 (Société Anonyme with capital of €663,695, headquartered at 19 rue d'Anjou, Paris) that manages rural and peri-urban land transactions across the Île-de-France region. Operating under statutory preemption rights on agricultural land transfers and wooded parcels under 3 hectares, it facilitates farm installation, land acquisition, rental, and transmission for a diversified client base including farmers, foresters, local authorities, and private investors. The organization is led by a team of approximately 30 employees, including President Pierre Marcille and Directeur Général Délégué Pierre Missioux, and operates within a broader ecosystem of public-sector and agricultural-chamber partners.

The company's technology stack centers on three proprietary digital platforms: Vigifoncier, a territorial land surveillance platform covering rural and peri-urban spaces; Vigimitage©, a mobile and web application launched in 2021 for local authorities to monitor and combat land fragmentation (mitage), available free of charge and deployed across all Île-de-France; and Le-prix-des-terres.fr, a price-referencing service built on 60 years of notary transaction data. Supporting platforms include the Appels de Candidatures portal for property listings, the Alertes publicités notification service, and the Archipel environmental compensation device jointly created with Biotope in 2016.

Safer de l'Ile-de-France generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on rural land sales, leases, and retrocessions, supplemented by expedited DIA (Déclaration d'Intention d'Aliéner) processing services for notaries at €100 HT (3-week response) and €375 HT (3-business-day response). The go-to-market combines a field-based sales motion (dedicated land advisors in each departmental sector) with self-serve online property listings and formal technical committees that validate acquisition and retrocession decisions. Activity metrics include approximately 200 operations per year involving 1,000-2,000 hectares, with 1,683 hectares attributed in 2024 (60% for farm installation) and 754 hectares mobilized for 24 farmer installations reported at the June 2025 25th anniversary assembly. Public funding from the Région Île-de-France and the French State (over €5 million in regional financial aids) supports farmer installation programs and territorial surveillance across 890 communes.
