Maison des Cultures

What Maison des Cultures does

Maison des Cultures (Association Maison des Cultures, SIREN 84775027000013) is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) operating inclusive shared housing and daytime care services for elderly persons and adults with disabilities in the commune of Thomery, near Fontainebleau in Seine-et-France, Île-de-France. The association runs two residential habitats: La Poussinière (an old bourgeois house opened in 2021 providing 24/7 accompaniment for elderly persons who can no longer or do not wish to live alone) and Le Prieuré (a multi-building site in its opening phase providing shared housing and social accompaniment for adults with disabilities). The portfolio is supplemented by Journées partagées day services priced at 60 euros per day for respite, socialization and cognitive stimulation, Le pôle jardin (garden, mobility and arts activities), and meeting/workspace rentals at Le Prieuré.

The organization has no proprietary technology platform and does not position itself as a technology company; service delivery is human- and real-estate-intensive. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with prospective residents and families encouraged to take immersive day visits before committing to relocation. Online booking supports the lower-commitment day service offering, while community events (Apéro-concert, Fête de la Musique), social media (YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn), a regular newsletter, and a France 5 television feature drive awareness among local care networks and families.

The business model blends fee-based professional services (day care at 60€/day), recurring residential housing fees, foundation and corporate grants (Fondation de France, Malakoff Humanis, Crédit Coopératif, Fondation Macif, Petit Frères des Pauvres among others), departmental and regional public funding (Département 77, Région Île-de-France, Mairie de Thomery), and public donations via Hello Asso. Governance references a SCIC (Société Coopérative d'Intérêt Collectif) structure for collective stakeholder ownership. Caroline Deligny serves as Directeur de la publication. The association has no parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds or disclosed revenue.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Groupe SOS Seniors: Large French non-profit group operating nursing homes, assisted living, and home services for elderly. Overlaps in mission and non-profit status but at substantially greater scale and with traditional care-facility formats.
• DomusVi: Major French operator of senior care residences (nursing homes, assisted living). Overlaps in serving elderly French residents but operates larger, institutional facilities rather than small co-housing habitats.
• Petits Frères des Pauvres: Established French foundation supporting elderly in social exclusion, including innovative housing initiatives. Awarded Maison des Cultures in 2020; comparable end beneficiary (isolated elderly) but operates at much larger national scale.
• Clariane (formerly Orpea / Korian): Large European operator of nursing homes, assisted living, and home care services. Serves the same elderly population as Maison des Cultures but via traditional institutional facilities at national scale rather than shared co-housing.
• Colisée: French operator of nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Comparable elderly care focus and French market presence, but with traditional institutional model rather than inclusive co-housing.

Others

• Fondation Abbé Pierre: Major French housing foundation advocating for and providing housing solutions to vulnerable populations. Same beneficiary orientation and French foundation ecosystem, but operates as an advocacy/housing charity rather than a service operator.
• Réseau HAPA: French national network of alternative inclusive housing providers for elderly persons. Maison des Cultures is a member; the network is a peer ecosystem rather than a direct competitor but is directly comparable in scope and policy alignment.

Direct peers

• Habitat et Humanisme: Major French non-profit providing inclusive and accessible housing for vulnerable populations including elderly and disabled, with a strong foundation-partner model — overlapping mission and operational structure.
• Ages & Vie: French non-profit operating shared housing for elderly persons who can no longer live alone, with 24/7 on-site presence — directly comparable co-housing model for the same elderly persona in similar historic properties.
• Association ALYS: French association developing shared housing solutions for elderly persons fragilized by age, with a comparable cooperative structure and inclusive habitat model.
