La Tribu de bébé, a play area with children's workshops and family café, in Méré (78)

Since the end of 2024, Tribu de Bébé has opened its doors to families, with a space entirely designed by and for children and their parents, including covered play areas and a children's café.

"La Tribu de bébé is really a playground for children aged 0 to 6," explains founder Pauline. With her husband Raphaël and Camille, they opened this family HQ, a paradise for young and old alike. Playground, motor room, family café... Take off your shoes and let's discover this beautiful concept where the family is at the heart.

Here, she wanted to create a space for local families, combining all the essentials to entertain and awaken the whole family, even toddlers. Shoes are taken off at the entrance, and then you're off to explore the various covered play areas, with small slides, areas for climbing and exploring, a dinette... Children can even put on a fancy dress costume to play, and - a little bonus - parents and carers are welcome in the play area, which has been adapted so that they can move around freely.

Upstairs, the Tribu de bébé has a 40 m² motor room where baby gym sessions and sports classes (multisports, taekwondo, circus, dance) adapted for toddlers from 18 months are organized. "We offer a lot of parent-child workshops to cultivate the bond between parents and little ones," explains Pauline. Prices start at €18 for access to the playground (including one adult and one child) for two hours.

In addition to the play area, which is accessible at all times (during opening hours), La Tribu de bébé offers parenting workshops (babywearing, baby gym, baby massage, baby sign...) and consultations given by a team of peri-natal professionals on site. After suffering severe post-partum depression at the birth of her second daughter, and finding it difficult to find professionals suited to her needs, Pauline decided to bring together the team of professionals she would have liked to have had when her daughter was very young. Naturopath, sophrologist, doula, hypnotherapist, sleep coach, breastfeeding consultant... are all here at La Tribu de bébé to provide the best possible support for young parents, from birth onwards.

Self-service board games and books are also available on site. In addition to theplay area and creative workshops, La Tribu de bébé is first and foremost a friendly, family-friendly place where you can meet up for a coffee, a snack or even lunch!

The menu includes homemade delicacies and viennoiseries (prepared by a local caterer), gourmet hot drinks, syrups for the kids and savoury options with quiches for the grown-ups and coquillettes for the kids. Don't miss out on the regressive treats on offer: Viennese hot chocolate, chocolate brownie served with custard, cookies... And don't forget the Sunday brunch, entirely homemade, with scrambled eggs, bagel and pastries....

Although a little far from the capital, the site is easily accessible by public transport: a 5-minute walk will take you to the Méré train station, on the Transilien N line (to Dreux from Montparnasse). A beautiful cocoon for families and young parents to discover in the Yvelines !
