The vision of the association revolves around a simple idea, to change the world little stone by small stone ; everyone is invited to contribute to build a common building.

This space includes a concept store, a cultural space and residences and presents itself as an incubator for projects, meetings and creation, a place where new perspectives and new ideas converge. Outside the walls, Les Petites Pierres engage in an approach that connects art and social, where the well-being of the city and its people is questioned and linked to artistic interventions.
