MONNAIE LOCALE - LA CIGOGNE

La Cigogne is creativity and collective intelligence put at the service of the region.

What if your purchasing power became the driver of a fairer, more creative local economy? La Cigogne is much more than a currency: it is an inclusive community of action that reconnects the residents, shopkeepers and craftspeople of the Haut-Rhin around a shared goal: creating positive impact together by keeping wealth circulating close to home.

Here, there is no judgement, only kindness and concrete action. Our strength lies in our Charter of Values, a clear framework that guides everyone, from the small producer to the large retailer, towards more sustainable practices. Joining La Cigogne means becoming part of a network of trust where every purchase naturally supports short supply chains, human connections and the preservation of our environment, with no extra effort.

Our approach is simple and powerful:

A circular and open economy: the currency stays in the region, strengthening ties between neighbours and boosting local shops.

A multiplied impact: your converted euros are invested to finance new local projects, making every transaction a lever for sustainable development.

At the heart of La Fourmilière, La Cigogne embodies this collective intelligence in which everyone is in their rightful place. Whether you are a curious citizen, a committed entrepreneur or an organisation wishing to go a step further in its societal approach, you are welcome to co-build, at your own pace and according to your own circumstances, a more resilient and supportive region. Here, impact is born from the diversity of energies and from the union of all goodwill through the use of a common currency.
