La Rosêe

What La Rosêe does

La Rosêe is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) registered in Montpellier that serves as the regional aggregator network for tiers-lieux (third places) across the 13-department Occitanie region. Formally constituted in 2019 from an informal network that began in 2016, the association unites existing tiers-lieux, emerging projects, local and national partner networks, and public-sector supporters through a governance model built around a General Assembly, a 15-member Animation Council, and a Vigilance Council. Its core 'product' is network coordination rather than a traditional technology platform: members access six thematic working groups (Compagnonnage, Formation, Tiers-lieux et pouvoirs publics, Inclusion, Culture, Nourricier), peer-support hotlines ('coup de pouce' and 'coup dur' CODEV sessions), an accompaniment programme ('Accompagner les tiers-lieux'), the Movilab wiki and Learning Visits Catalogue, the Transitiomètre self-assessment card game (Creative Commons), bi-annual Grande Rencontres, the annual Journées Portes Toujours Ouvertes, and the CAPE Occitanie dialogue forum with public authorities. Underlying technology is intentionally lightweight: Nextcloud for document sharing, online forms, The Events Calendar plugin, and a Tibillet-powered membership platform — there is no proprietary software, API surface, or AI/ML component.

The association operates two paid coordinators (Lise Combes, Suzanne Bécart) and is funded through three concurrent revenue streams: (1) tiered annual membership dues calculated on legal form and economic volume with a Fabrique de territoire / Manufactures de proximité surcharge of at least 500 EUR HT; (2) public subsidies and institutional funding from Région Occitanie, ANCT, FDVA, DEFI'OCC, GIP France Tiers-Lieux, and the Préfet de la région Occitanie; and (3) voluntary contributions and donations, including a contributory budget model where members can contribute work and request remuneration. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: prospective members discover the network via the tierslieuxoccitanie.com website, newsletter, social channels, and peer referrals, then engage through the Tibillet self-serve membership flow and in-person touchpoints such as Grande Rencontres, regional days, webinars, and open days. Customer segments span existing tiers-lieux (primary), emerging tiers-lieu projects (primary), local and regional public authorities, and other tiers-lieu networks.

Others

• France Active: National network financing the social and solidarity economy in France, providing guarantees, loans, and equity to associations including tiers-lieux. Comparable as a regional-network-with-public-funding intermediation model, although focused on financial rather than peer support.
• AVISE: French national centre of expertise supporting social enterprises and the social and solidarity economy, including tiers-lieux. Comparable as an ecosystem support body that produces resources, training, and policy advocacy for community-purpose organisations.
• La Fonda: French think tank studying associative organisations and producing forward-looking resources for the sector. Comparable as a producer of knowledge and policy advocacy for non-profit network operators, though research-oriented rather than service-delivery.
• Le Mouvement Associatif: National coordinating body for associative life in France. Comparable as a multi-tier membership-driven network representing a sector with public institutions, though operating at a broader associational rather than tiers-lieu-specific level.

Direct peers

• Yes We Camp: French organisation that creates and operates temporary and hybrid community spaces (Les Grands Voisins, Coco Velten). Comparable as a network operator of community/third places with strong public-partnership orientation, though more operator than networker.
• Plateau Urbain: French cooperative that coordinates temporary use of vacant urban spaces for community, cultural, and associative projects. Comparable in mission (community space stewardship) and member-facing coordination, though focused on a narrower urban real-estate angle.
• GIP France Tiers-Lieux: National operator of France's tiers-lieux policy framework and the 'Accompagner les tiers-lieux' programme. La Rosée is its designated Occitanie operator, making it the most directly comparable peer in terms of network coordination, member accompaniment, and institutional funding intermediation.
