Since 2000, Le Garage Moderne—founded by Béatrice Aspart, Véronique Goglin, and Boufeldja Labri—has been more than just a repair shop. Located in Bordeaux, this 2,200 sqm space has become a local hub where residents from Bacalan and beyond come to share skills and moments of togetherness.
Through participatory workshops and cultural events, Le Garage Moderne promotes reuse, repair, and DIY culture while fostering solidarity. With over 5,000 members and nearly 300 volunteers, it’s become a vital part of the community, offering even a cooperative cafeteria and emergency food aid.
👏 Congratulations to the team for this inspiring initiative that blends creativity, mutual aid, and social commitment!
The Énergie Partagée label has just recognized another transformative local project—the Calvisson solar initiative—for its exemplary shared governance and positive regional impact. It now joins the growing family of labeled citizen energy projects [Citizen Energy Map].
Led by the municipality of Calvisson, the ECDC association, and the ACTTE cooperative, the project highlights the value of a local, citizen-driven approach to renewable energy.
Why is this label important?
It certifies that projects meet strict criteria for transparency, environmental benefit, and local economic return. This unique model puts citizens at the heart of the energy transition.
With more than 360 labeled projects across France, the Énergie Partagée label is now a trusted benchmark for impactful, ethical, and sustainable local initiatives.
The citizen movement is growing fast, and this new project proves once again the power of participative energy transition.
