PTCE Vivre Les Mureaux

What PTCE Vivre Les Mureaux does

PTCE Vivre Les Mureaux is a French non-profit association (Association loi 1901) structured in 2018 in Les Mureaux, Île-de-France, operating as a Pôle Territorial de Coopération Économique (territorial economic cooperation hub). It functions as a citizen-led platform for territorial development, social cohesion, ecological transition, and employment in a city of more than 100 nationalities. Its portfolio spans physical and digital offerings: La Chrysalide, a coworking space (tiers-lieu); the Berger des Mureaux, an urban pastoralism initiative with walking tours and ecological education; entrepreneurship and employment programs (Le Booster des Entrepreneurs, 100 Chances 100 Emplois, Start-Up de Territoire, La Vie en Grand); the Territoires Zéro Chômeur de Longue Durée (TZCLD) initiative operationalized via EBE Murenvol; and tourism products hosted on third-party platforms (Baludik walking tours, Eatwith culinary experiences). It also runs monthly Vivre Les Mureaux Connexions virtual meetings and recurring cultural events (Marche de la Lumière, Fleurs en Seine, Festival International du Cirque, Été en Fête).

The business model is a hybrid of membership-based and grant-funded association economics. Members pay a 10€ annual contribution, while the bulk of operating capacity is delivered through grants from regional and national public bodies (CGET, DIRECCTE Yvelines, Région Île-de-France, Département des Yvelines) and foundations (Fondation de France, Fondation Oikonomia, Fondation GRDF, Fondation Sycomore, Fondation Air Liquide, Fondation EDC). Revenue is not publicly disclosed and is best characterized as sub-€1M annual operating income. The organization distributes impact through direct community engagement, a physical coworking venue, marketing partnerships (LILO search engine, SOURCE mobile plan), and a network of 14+ operational partners (La Gerbe, BGE Yvelines, PIMMS, France Travail, Mission Locale, GPSEO, ICF Habitat La Sablière). The association is led by president Jean Marc Semoulin (also known as "le Berger des Mureaux") and director Anne Denise Daho, with 18 employees as of the most recent data. In December 2025 the association announced a strategic transformation ("la métamorphose") in response to reduced public funding, and in June 2026 it was awarded the Lauriers de la Régénération 2026, a national recognition of regenerative territorial development.
