What you are actually after

You are not buying footfall. You are buying connection.

A culture or youth department does not think in average basket. It looks for an activity that is free for residents, open to everyone, that makes people cross paths who no longer do — and that leaves something visible afterwards. That is exactly what a collectively built piece produces.

  • Free, no registration

    No barrier to entry: you walk up, you lay a brick, you leave when you like. No time slots, no lists, no filtering by age or by what a family can afford.

  • Genuinely intergenerational

    Bricks are one of the rare objects teenagers, parents and grandparents all handle without feeling out of place. On a village square, that is what keeps people together.

  • Something the town keeps

    The piece stays. It goes on display in the town hall, the library or a school, and reminds people all year that residents built it themselves.

  • Paperwork that clears

    Compliant quote, company registration number, insurance certificate, bank details and Chorus Pro invoicing. You don't have to explain how a purchase order works.

Our set-ups

Three formats that fit a municipal budget line.

From a half-day for a neighbourhood festival to a territorial project built across several sessions with your residents.

The town's own piece

The giant participatory mosaic

The town crest, a photograph of local heritage, the festival artwork. Every resident lays a brick and the image appears across the day. The mosaic then hangs in the town hall or the library.

The free-build zone

The simplest format to programme for a town festival or a community fair: thousands of bricks, tables, our hosts. Children settle in, parents stay, and your square doesn't empty at four o'clock.

Territorial interpretation diorama in bricks
Explaining the territory

The territorial diorama or model

A development scheme, a farming sector, a historic quarter, explained in three dimensions. The tool that makes a technical file understandable in a public meeting — and that stays on display afterwards.

Every format exists in a half-day version, which keeps it within a modest activities budget — or lets a district programme two different towns on the same day.

Client story

Kitribrick — explaining waste sorting at Grand Belfort

With Agrivalor, the district wanted residents to understand how everyday waste is really sorted and treated — and to show that the answer differs between town and countryside. We built two complementary models, hosted across three workshop days, now used as teaching tools in local schools.

  • 2complementary models
  • 60participants per workshop day
  • 3hosted days, 2025 to 2026

Your occasions

When a town calls us.

The reasons recur, and each has its own decision calendar. The earlier you come to us, the more the format can be shaped to your budget rather than the other way round.

Town festival & national day

The flagship: a free activity that holds a whole afternoon and leaves a piece behind. To be scheduled as soon as the budget is voted, early in the year.

Summer programme

A tour across several towns in one district, in half-days. One trip, several sites, cost shared.

Opening a new building

Library, school, sports hall: a model of the building, constructed on the day by residents and elected members, then displayed in the lobby.

Culture week & charity events

A short, highly visual format that works well indoors and photographs nicely for the municipal newsletter.

School & after-school projects

Across several sessions with the town's schools. Often co-funded between the education and culture budgets.

What departments and elected members ask us.

What does it cost?

We apply two rates. Our rates are provided on request, within 24 to 48 working hours. A discount applies to multi-site tours. Our rates are provided on request, within 24 to 48 working hours.

What documents do you provide?

Detailed quote, company registration number, registration extract, professional liability certificate and bank details. We invoice through Chorus Pro, which remains the reference platform for public-sector invoicing. If your department needs a specific document, ask — we'll add it.

Do you go through public procurement?

Most of our work for local authorities falls below the formal procedure thresholds and is handled with a simple quote and purchase order. We also respond to consultations and adapted-procedure tenders, including as part of a consortium if your lot requires it.

Do we need to assign staff?

No. Our hosts run the stand from start to finish, manage flow and tidy up. One contact for site access and power on the day is plenty.

Is the activity genuinely accessible to everyone?

Yes, and that is one of its strengths. It works seated or standing, requires no reading and no prior skill, and suits disabled visitors and older people alike. We adjust table heights on request.

What happens to the finished piece?

It stays with the town. Most of our clients display it in the town hall, the library or a school. We offer framing and can come and install it if you wish.

How far ahead should we plan?

Two months is technically enough. In practice, towns come to us early in the year, once the budget is voted, for a summer programme. That is the right rhythm: it leaves time to fit the format to the money available.

Do you work outdoors?

Yes, with a wet-weather fallback as a condition: bricks and rain do not mix. We always require a marquee, a covered area or an identified back-up room written into the agreement.
