The Other is a chance.

Les Grands Voisins was born at the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul hospital in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, between Port-Royal and the Catacombs. We emerged from the cracks in the concrete and in public policy. We are dedicated to welcoming everyone, and we believe in building bridges between utopia and reality.

The Digital hub, how it works

No need to be a computer expert, or to have a technical department. All it takes is a bit of curiosity and a neighbour.

  1. Choose your services

    Add them to your account, personal or for your association. A number is all it takes: no name, no email.

  2. Install it at home, or at a neighbour's

    A small server uses about as much power as an internet box. No room? A trusted neighbour, or your association's premises, can host it.

  3. Don't stay alone in front of the screen

    Volunteer neighbours are here to help, in a workshop or at your home. And one day, maybe, it will be your turn to help someone else.

All the services, and what each one keeps

Where we come from

Les Grands Voisins was born between 2015 and 2017 at the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul hospital, in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. Ever since, we've been wondering whether a physical place is still needed to remain neighbours.
