Les Petites Cantines is a non-profit network of neighborhood canteens, where guests welcome and meet through sustainable, participatory and free-price meals.
Les Petites Cantines rely on mutual aid and collective intelligence to help build a society based on trust.
In each Petite Cantine, the meal is free
At Les Petites Cantines, meals are free! Everyone gives what they want and what they can.
Everyone participates according to their means. This makes it possible to cover the expenses of the canteen. Some give more, this makes it possible to welcome people who give less.
“We communicate transparently on the cost of a meal and on our economic model” specifies the association on its website.
