Colette is a matchmaking platform that helps students and young professionals find accommodation by living with hosts who have a room to rent.

Founded in December 2019 by 6 entrepreneur friends, Colette is a start-up whose mission is to strengthen solidarity between generations in the face of worrying social and societal observations.

On the one hand, rising rents force students to settle for more expensive and less suitable accommodation. On the other hand, the empty rooms in the homes of hundreds of seniors further contribute to their isolation, depriving them of the financial benefits and company they could enjoy. 🏡

Therefore, Colette allows students, through a trusted platform, to find affordable accommodation by cohabiting with seniors who have spare rooms in their homes.

👋🏼 The team has grown over time, and you can get to know them right here.

🪂 But Colette is also an Activities Club.

The Colette Club is an activities club created by Coline, one of the co-founders, in late 2021. At the request of several hosts, the club's mission is to bring people together for meetings and activities to get to know each other and share moments of conviviality. This club is open to hosts as well as any external person wishing to become a member: neighbors, cousins, parents, etc.

The club continues to grow and offer a variety of activities 🎨 every day (such as coffee meetings, walks, morning routines, language classes, online courses, guided walks, visits to monuments, reading groups, pottery classes, etc.).
