Petite Forêt, the stroller-friendly café in Paris Beaujon neighborhood

This is a café every single mom in Paris would like to know. Petite Forêt opened in July 2021 in the Beaujon neighborhood in Paris 8th arrondissement, not far from the Parc Monceau, with a great 200sqm and stroller-friendly concept featuring a playroom and workshops for children and moms. Come over, have a break, keep your children busy and have a chat with other moms.

The café is really ideally set, in a pedestrian dead-end, in a huge 200sqm area. The two mothers who created Petite Forêt, Laura and Kaja, fell in love with the place, a bit over their budget, but with a great potential for their project.

This magical place is a café featuring a playground and a workshop area. Open to all, all day long, for a coffee break, or a chat with friends, Petite Forêt does not aim at only being a stroller-friendly café but a local café open to all. Despite it all, tables speak for themselves: the place is inclusive with high-chairs for babies and children running around, barefooted. Here, no judgment, it would be inappropriate, especially since the children here are the owner’s children.

This living place for parents and children is very common in Germany, between the stroller-friendly café and the “mother membership”. It lacks in France, although more and more stroller-friendly cafés or playgrounds have opened recently. Upon arrival, the German moms are here with their babies, crawling in the room or running on a wooden car, while another mother is reading while her daughter is attending a workshop in the next room. A bubble provided all year around with different themes. The idea is to come over, have a break, chat, and have a good time without worrying about other people or baby.

You have a great time over a cup of coffee and some cakes. Cookies, brownies and cakes are served for now, although, a brunch is said to arrive one day with acai bowls and porridges. For the smallest ones, Petite Forêt serves dishes by Popote brand and fresh fruits! You can have a 20-minute break for an afternoon snack, only paying for your drinks and snacks and workshops.

Forêt Verte hosts child-friendly workshops and some for parents. Sophrology, first aid, musical workshops… The brand mothers missed as they met in playgrounds before launching the brand six years later.

We highly recommend this café providing you with a relaxing and unguilty breath of fresh air, with a tiny library, a Montessori motor function area, a store area with great concepts approved by moms. PS: the café is open for birthday parties starting from €500 for entertainment for 10 children, cake included, and €1000 for total privatization of the 200sqm place. Save the place!
