Les 1000 & UN Loisirs

What Les 1000 & UN Loisirs does

Les 1000 & UN Loisirs is a French non-profit association (Association loi 1901, SIRET 490 376 571 00025) founded in 2006 and headquartered in Wez-Macquart (Hauts-de-France). Its mission is to provide adapted leisure and vacation stays for children, youth, and adults with intellectual disabilities, polyhandicap, autism spectrum disorders (TSA), and behavioral or pervasive developmental disorders — a population with extremely limited access to mainstream vacation providers. Since 2006 the association has welcomed over 9,033 beneficiaries and holds 65+ registered activity numbers covering programs across multiple French regions (Alsace, Auvergne, Côte d'Opale, Vendée, Charente-Maritime, Hauts-de-France).

The core offering is a portfolio of fully-supervised vacation stays lasting 6 to 21 days, with autonomy-based grouping (tariff T1 standard; T2 higher-support when the autonomy coefficient reaches 4 in daily life, behavior, or mobility). Specialized programs include the 'Parenthèse Sensorielle' for young adults 18-30 with autism spectrum disorders (featuring Snoezelen and balneotherapy), and stays such as 'Balades alsaciennes', 'Cocktail d'aventures en Auvergne', 'Volcano Camp', and 'Graines d'artistes'. Pricing is all-inclusive (transport, accommodation, meals, activities, supervision, insurance) and ranges from €1,800 to €4,080 per stay. Distribution is direct-to-family (individual reservations from Erquinghem-le-Sec or Arras) and direct-to-institution (group reservations from social/medico-social establishments such as IME, ESAT, with post-stay pedagogical and sanitary reports). Membership fees are €10/year for families and €30/year for collective structures; optional cancellation insurance is offered at 4.11% of stay price through MAIF.

The organization operates with 9 permanent employees, governed by President Anthony Bastien, with Nicolas Barbier handling communications. Strategic partnerships include Aroéven Hauts-de-France (hosting at La Maison du château in Coucy-le-Château) and Autisme et Familles Hauts de France (specialized TSA facility access at IME La Fontinelle). Marketing relies on regional press (La Voix Du Nord), local TV coverage, the CRESS Hauts-de-France network, Facebook, and annual printed brochures. There is no disclosed revenue, no parent company, and no venture or institutional investment ownership.
