The association

A former holiday village coming back to life

L'Ourson du Lys, a non-profit association recognised as a social enterprise (ESUS), is restoring this building in the Lys valley, empty since 2013. Families, seniors, seasonal workers, people with disabilities: everyone pays according to their means and shares the same pool, the same view and the same welcome.

“Here we don’t house customers, we welcome stories.”
