Applications go to a hub, not to a head office. Le Village by CA is a network of more than thirty sites across France, with further ones in Brussels and Luxembourg, and each admits companies on its own rolling basis rather than through a single national call.
Credit Agricole runs it as a corporate incubator. A residency lasts 18 to 24 months and brings workspace, mentoring and introductions into the bank's corporate relationships.
No money is invested and no shares are taken, so what a founder spends here is time rather than ownership.
What it actually costs you
Credit Agricole operates Le Village by CA as a corporate incubator network spanning more than thirty hubs across France, with further sites in Brussels and Luxembourg. Residency lasts 18 to 24 months and brings workspace, mentoring and corporate introductions, though no direct investment is made. The arrangement is entirely non-dilutive, and hubs admit companies on a rolling basis.
