LOUER DEHORS

What LOUER DEHORS does

Louer Dehors SAS operates a French peer-to-peer online marketplace for renting private outdoor spaces by the hour. Founded in 2015 by Sabine Dissaux and nationally launched in July 2016, the platform connects property owners (hosts) who have gardens, swimming pools, terraces, sports courts, large open spaces, or atypical outdoor venues with guests seeking to rent those spaces for events and leisure activities including birthday parties, weddings, barbecues, family gatherings, photo and video shoots, team building, and business meetings. The platform's product is louerdehors.com, a self-serve web marketplace accessible in French and English, where hosts self-publish listings through a guided flow and guests search and book by space type, location, date, and headcount. Listings span categories including Grand Espaces, Terrasses, Jardins, Sport, Piscines, and Espaces Atypiques, with both exclusive and shared (semi-exclusive) booking modes available.

The underlying technology is a web-based marketplace platform with map-based search, online booking flows, and Mangopay-powered payment processing (AES 256-bit encrypted, escrow-style fund management under Mangopay's EEA-wide Electronic Money Institution license). Trust infrastructure is provided through a Guest & Host insurance guarantee underwritten by AIG in partnership with Affiniteam, alongside a host-guest review system. Pricing is usage-based by default (hour per person, with hosts setting their own rates, e.g., garden with barbecue at €4/hour/person, tennis court at €5/hour/person), supplemented by Event Packs (5h, 12h, 24h, 48h) for full-day event rentals. Louer Dehors monetizes via a 25% commission per transaction, split as a 20% guest-side service fee added to the rental price and a 5% host-side deduction from host payouts. The company is registered in Paris as a SAS with €10,000 share capital, operates with 1-10 employees (including founder Sabine Dissaux, Art Director Anna Fuga, and Customer Success Manager Cyril), and distributes via organic social, content marketing ("Louer Dehors & Friends" blog), press/earned media, an ambassador program, and word-of-mouth referrals. No external funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent company are disclosed.

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Vrbo: Major P2P vacation rental platform (owned by Expedia) competing in the short-term-rental and outdoor-property categories. Approaches the outdoor-space use case from a whole-property rental angle, complementary rather than identical.
• Le Bon Coin: France's leading general classifieds platform with deep consumer reach. Competes indirectly for the same hosts/guests through short-term rental listings and venue-style categories, with far larger brand awareness and traffic.
• Booking.com: Largest online travel agency with extensive short-term rental inventory including unique outdoor properties. Competes for the same trip/event budget by offering broader accommodation choice and stronger SEO reach than Louer Dehors.
• Airbnb: Global P2P accommodation marketplace that already monetizes unique outdoor-adjacent stays (cabins, yurts, vineyards, castles). Broader portfolio than Louer Dehors but overlapping audience and trust/insurance model.

Emerging players

• Splendia: European curator of luxury and unique private accommodation including estates, villas and outdoor venues. Targets a higher-AOV slice of the same private-venue demand that Louer Dehors serves in France.
• Mr Alfred: French peer-to-peer rental platform focused on renting leisure and household goods. Closely comparable French P2P operator in collaborative consumption, even though the underlying asset is goods rather than outdoor spaces.

Direct peers

• Tagvenue: Online marketplace for booking meeting rooms, event venues and private spaces for events of all sizes. Overlaps with Louer Dehors on event-venue sourcing and short-duration bookings but operates across more venue categories and geographies.
• HeadBox: UK-headquartered event space marketplace that matches organizers with unique venues for meetings, parties and corporate events. Closely comparable in venue-sourcing, event-centric use cases and hourly/event-pack pricing.
• Click & Boat: French P2P boat rental marketplace operating on a similar take-rate, two-sided asset-sharing model as Louer Dehors. Comparable in scale, geography and community-led growth approach even though the underlying asset (boats vs. outdoor spaces) differs.
• Swimmy: French peer-to-peer marketplace for renting private swimming pools by the hour, directly comparable to Louer Dehors' pool rental category and P2P marketplace mechanics. Most direct head-to-head competitor in the French outdoor-space rental space.
