The Cité des bébés

The Cité des Bébés welcomes babies, toddlers and their accompanying adults in a cosy and colourful place, designed plastic and screen free. In this unique place, babies open their eyes wide to what surrounds them and explore freely.

The Cité meets the needs of the little ones!

Designed as a safe nest, oriented on early development and the well-being of the child, the Cité des bébés is an original place that welcomes each baby and the accompanying adults in a cosy atmosphere.

Inside this fun and evolving universe, entirely designed for them, toddlers can crawl, wander, grab, feel, have fun, look around or rest! The Touareg tent, the snail bathtub, the Mongolian yurt… each baby explores the place freely, under the watchful eye of their companion. Young and old can make the most of the visit and meet other people.

Activities (such as story telling) are often proposed, during which songs, puppets and gestures stimulate the baby’s different senses. From time to time, scientist and early childhood specialists will also be there to talk to the adults about cognitive and sensorimotor development of children.

The place is designed in an eco-responsible way, plastic and screen free and favouring natural materials
