What ARBRE ET AVENTURE does
Arbre & Aventure is a privately held French constructor, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Signes (near Toulon), specialising in the turnkey design, engineering, and on-site construction of acrobatic high and low rope courses (Parcours Acrobatiques en Hauteur, PAH), high-speed ziplines, artificial recreational structures, treehouses (cabanes), and secure footbridges for natural and urban environments. The company integrates proprietary third-party safety systems, notably Bonark's SAFE LINK SSB® intelligent self-belaying system, Clic-it® Adventure double-tether connectors, and COUDOU PRO multi-directional hardware, and ensures full compliance with European standards NF EN 15567-1 (construction) and NF EN 15567-2 (operation). Construction timelines are reported at 3–7 weeks on site, preceded by feasibility studies, permitting, and material procurement. The company states more than 250 courses built worldwide since inception and is an active participant in international standardisation committees governing the sector.
The business operates on a direct, sales-led B2B model, engaging enterprise customers through its bilingual (French/English) website and bespoke project consultation. Primary revenue is generated as one-time turnkey construction fees sized to project scope, site conditions, and complexity, with recurring post-construction services (extensions, renovations to NF EN 15567-1, replacement of progression devices and lifeline systems, and inspection) providing an annuity from the installed base. Customer segments span tourism and leisure park operators, ski resorts seeking to monetise lift infrastructure in off-peak periods, urban recreation centre operators requiring fabricated structures, hospitality operators commissioning treehouses and glamping installations, and municipalities and public land managers needing compliant footbridges and platforms.
The company is founder-led, with Richard Brard and Michel Auzet serving as the operational and technical partners since inception, supported by a lean team of approximately 6 employees and an ecosystem of specialised partners (Bonark, Clic-it, COUDOU PRO, SPS Filets, Aval Forêt, SBE, Joly et Philippe). It has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, operating as an independent specialist with global reach concentrated through project delivery rather than permanent international offices.

ARBRE ET AVENTURE competitors and assessment
Company assessmentOthers
- Petzl: French manufacturer of climbing, rope-access, and personal protective equipment used across acrobatic courses and via ferrata. Comparable as a key safety-equipment supplier whose products are commonly integrated into rope course builds like Arbre & Aventure's.
- Clic-it: French developer of the Clic-it® Adventure double-tether safety system used by Arbre & Aventure for users from age 4. Comparable as the safety-system partner whose technology is embedded in Arbre & Aventure's family-friendly course offerings.
- Beal: French rope manufacturer with products used in adventure parks, via ferrata, and rope courses. Comparable as a rope-system supplier whose products underpin acrobatic course construction similar to Arbre & Aventure's projects.
- Edelrid: German manufacturer of climbing ropes, harnesses, and safety equipment for vertical and aerial activities. Comparable as an enabling supplier of ropes and hardware used in acrobatic and zipline installations of the kind Arbre & Aventure constructs.
- Bornack (Bonark): Swedish manufacturer of fall-protection and self-belaying systems, including the Fallstop® Safe Link SSB® that Arbre & Aventure integrates into its courses. Comparable as the originating safety-system supplier of Arbre & Aventure's key technical differentiator.
Broad incumbents
- Zip World: UK operator of multiple zipline and adventure parks, including high-speed installations. Comparable to Arbre & Aventure because Zip World operates the very type of zipline parks Arbre & Aventure constructs, and pursues similar go-to-market ambition in the aerial adventure segment.
- Go Ape: UK-founded operator of treetop adventure courses across the UK and US, designing and building many of its own installations. Directly comparable as a large-scale operator of acrobatic rope courses in the same adventure park category that Arbre & Aventure serves as a B2B builder.
- Erlebnis Akademie AG: German-listed operator of forest adventure parks (Kletterwälder), nature resorts, and treehouse accommodations. Comparable to Arbre & Aventure because it operates forest rope course parks of the kind Arbre & Aventure builds, while also building its own installations.
Emerging players
- Ninja Parc: Australian operator/builder of outdoor rope and ninja-style obstacle courses. Comparable to Arbre & Aventure as a niche builder of acrobatic outdoor courses, though focused on a different geography and a slightly differentiated obstacle format.
Regional players
- Klimbos: Dutch chain of outdoor climbing/rope parks operating multiple sites across the Netherlands. Comparable as a rope course operator in the same product category Arbre & Aventure serves, though focused on a different geography (Benelux) and not a builder.
