Les Grands Voisins was born at the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul hospital in Paris's 14th arrondissement, between Port Royal and the Catacombs. We grew out of the cracks in concrete and public policy. We are at the service of welcoming all, and believe in building bridges between utopia and reality.

Our history of Saint Vincent de Paul from 2015 to 2017

Read our story here. We come from a unique experience in Paris. It invites us to ask ourselves whether we really need a physical place to consider ourselves Great Neighbors. We think we can go beyond the walls, while keeping the image of neighbors.

Our mission written by 100 people over one month in 2017

Read about our mission here, which underpins everything we do. Each person has a different definition of what Les Grands Voisins is, and each person is right. If we can create binding conditions -- a kind of neighborhood that complements your existing neighborhoods, we've succeeded.
