Les Pieds Sur Scene

What Les Pieds Sur Scene does

Les Pieds Sur Scene is a French micro-enterprise, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Haubourdin (Lille metropolitan area), that delivers corporate training, conferences, and live events built around theatrical improvisation techniques. The company sells in-company training programs (7-14 hour modules for groups of 4-12 participants), one-hour demonstration workshops, team-building activities, corporate spectacles, and keynotes on topics including emotional intelligence, public speaking, stress management, and team dynamics. It serves a horizontally diversified client base spanning universities and healthcare faculties, hospitals, financial institutions, manufacturers, public agencies, and non-profits, primarily in the Hauts-de-France region with delivery extending across France.

The company's underlying technology and IP consist of a proprietary ludo-pedagogical method (combining improvisation with professional development, refined over 20+ years) and the internal SCENOS application (deployed in 2019) used to coordinate projects with comedian resources. The firm holds QUALIOPI certification (2022, renewed 2025-2028) and DATADOCK approval (2017), which enable clients to access OPCO-funded training; these certifications function as regulatory barriers for uncertified competitors in the French professional training market.

Commercially, Les Pieds Sur Scene operates a professional services revenue model with per-course pricing (e.g., 490€ HT per participant for a 7-hour module; 965€ HT for a 2-day training), free 1-hour workshops as a top-of-funnel acquisition tool, and direct sales through website, email, and phone. Distribution is wholly direct (no intermediaries), with on-site delivery at client premises. The company is founder-owned by co-founders François Samier and Philippe Despature, has no disclosed external funding, and operates with a headcount of 1-10 employees.
