Foncière Chênelet is a French social-purpose real-estate company based in Landrethun-le-Nord, in the Hauts-de-France region. Its registered office is at 34 rue de Moyecques, 62250 Landrethun-le-Nord.35 The organisation was founded in 2009 by François Marty, who had previously developed social-integration enterprises and founded the wider Chênelet group.1011
The company operates as a maître d’ouvrage d’insertion—an organisation involved in developing housing for people experiencing social or economic disadvantage—and is authorised as both an insertion-project developer and an Entreprise Solidaire d’Utilité Sociale (ESUS).5 Its stated activities include the acquisition, construction and rehabilitation of social housing, housing-related support for disadvantaged people, rental intermediation and socially oriented property management.3
Foncière Chênelet focuses on housing that combines social affordability with environmental performance. Its projects are designed to provide comfortable homes with low running costs and adaptations for people with disabilities and older residents.67 The organisation presents its approach as linking social housing, employment and environmental objectives, while working with local stakeholders to address issues such as energy poverty, population ageing and territorial inequality.28
Its work is not limited to its headquarters area. The organisation has developed projects in different French territories, including the delivery of four ecological homes in Boult-aux-Bois in the Ardennes in December 2023.12 Its geographic scope is therefore national, although its projects are locally anchored and its LinkedIn profile identifies Landrethun-le-Nord as its headquarters.2
François Marty is identified as the founder and former president, while Anne-Gaëlle Charvet is identified as president in 2023 and 2026 organisational records.31112
