Le Milieu

In 2011, seven women came together with a shared idea: to create an inclusive, family-oriented, radically bilingual, non-judgmental meeting space in Montreal's Centre-South neighborhood.

What better way to bring people together than through art and food? Le Milieu officially opened in 2012 as a social enterprise based on the cooperative model. The women decided on a name which conveyed the idea of creating an "in-between" space that is neither a home nor public property. Le Milieu, which means "The Middle" in English, seemed entirely appropriate.
