What LDC | Location De Chapiteaux | does

LDC (Location de Chapiteaux) is a privately held French event-tent and chapiteau rental company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Belleville-en-Beaujolais, between Lyon and Mâcon. The company rents temporary fabric-covered structures — including garden cottages/pagodes, multiforme, traditional peaked, arched, crystal, atypical stretch, and long-duration chapiteaux — ranging in size from 9 m² to 2,100 m², supported by an inventory of approximately 11,300 m² of structures and 8,800 m² of modular flooring. Core technical capabilities include an in-house 2D/3D engineering bureau (bureau d'études) for custom project design, CTS event-standard safety compliance, M2 fire-rated canvas on atypical tents, and ground-anchoring systems adapted to terrain and climate.

LDC operates a direct-to-consumer rental model, serving enterprise clients (e.g., SEB, Groupama, Intermarché, Conforama), event agencies and federations, public authorities and hospitals (e.g., Hôpital de Mâcon, Mairie d'Oullins), SMBs (Les Mouettes, Bistrot Brigitte), and private individuals within a 200 km radius of Lyon across Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Pricing is quote-based (devis) per project, with revenue earned on short-term event rentals and longer-duration industrial, storage, and agricultural deployments. Services are delivered turnkey by qualified installation teams handling delivery, setup, dismantling, and a subsidiary (BLB / Bourgogne Lavage Bâches) handles canvas cleaning and maintenance.
