Core offering

Patmouille is a French social insertion enterprise operating three complementary activities: La Blanchisserie (artisanal laundry services for professionals and individuals using eco-labeled products with pickup and delivery), La Friperie (a thrift store selling donated second-hand clothing, accessories, and household linens), and L'Écocyclerie du Vignoble Nantais (an eco-center that collects, sorts, and resells reusable objects including dishes, toys, books, furniture, and small appliances). The activities serve as employment vehicles for people distanced from the labor market.

Product overview

Patmouille operates as a unified social enterprise and insertion company with three core service offerings: La Blanchisserie (artisanal laundry services for professionals and individuals), La Friperie (secondhand clothing and accessories thrift store), and L'Écocyclerie du Vignoble Nantais (circular economy reuse center for second-hand objects). These three complementary activities support the company's social mission of professional insertion, providing employment pathways for individuals facing employment challenges. The enterprise functions under the association Patmouille (loi 1901), combining social purpose with sustainable economic activities.
