Description

La Cour Cyclette is a cooperative that provides a public space located in Val-de-Marne near Paris, where visitors can consume and purchase short-circuit food (organic baskets, caterer, canteen, grocery store) and make use of services related to cycling (sales, repairs, information, bike rentals). The cooperative’s goal is to effectively achieve the ecological transition by offering a social and ecological alternative and avoiding waste. CourCyclette is also taking part in the Cooperatives for Low-Emission Logistics Initiatives project in the Val de Marne (CILFÉ). It consists of a network of bicycle transport cooperatives, each 3-5 km apart and interconnected via the CoopCycle digital application. CourCyclette specialises in high added value deliveries by considering the social utility of the products delivered and carrying out only deliveries of large quantities and volumes.
