I don't know anything about them, but just saw this on another forum.

Possibly could help older Jeanneau's with obsolete parts. There is a language tab on the website.

We have created a catalog of spare parts for unobtainable and adaptable boats. To respond to specific and personalized requests, we have opened a design office with partners specialized in digital machining and 3D printing. We offer a range of stanchion bases, screen covers and winch crowns.//captainchercheur.com/

My great friend Roland Fardeau, a former Director of Marketing at Jeanneau, also tells me of the French Boat recycling network, this was created by  Jean Paul Chapeleau, a former Director General of Jeanneau. It is actively supported by most of the major French boatbuilders.

Here is their website:

(or the original French site at: www.recyclermonbateau.fr/l-aper-association-pour-la-plaisance-eco-responsable/)

I will contact them to try to discover if there recycling centres store and sell any of the older parts, which may now be unobtainable from dealers.

Seems a great initiative, don't think there is an equivalent in the UK or USA, but would love to know.
