France

Foundation date: 1964

France, where the first L’Arche community was born in 1964, has the largest number of communities. These are grouped together in a national federation and are scattered throughout the country, in towns and rural areas. Several of them have workshops adapted to the needs of people with intellectual disabilities. Supported by a large network of friends, the communities work towards the integration of members with a disability into French society through a community life that is open to their environment and respects the autonomy of each person.
