Les Tournières is a Belgian social real-estate cooperative headquartered at Rue Volière 9 in Liège, Wallonia. 45 The organisation was established in 2003 and operates as a cooperative company with a social purpose. 23 Its origins are linked to a civic mobilisation to preserve a building occupied by the organisation Barricade.

According to a 2025 profile, Les Tournières manages approximately 20 buildings, comprising around 40 homes and 30 professional spaces. 3 Its work includes energy-conscious renovation and, in more recent projects, ecological construction, circularity and the reuse of materials. 7810 A regional pilot project, REECIT, focuses on renovation practices combining environmental objectives with social-economy principles. 10
