Well-being for babies in Paris

Babies, like adults, can have a massage or take part in gyms sessions specially adapted to their age. A made-to-measure programme to help them grow up in an enjoyable way.

And for new-born babies, the Espace Weleda in central Paris organizes massage workshops for babies. Gentle massage techniques to use every day to create a special bond with your child are taught to parents.

Stories for young children in Paris

The imagination is at work from birth. To help young children construct their own world, early-learning reading activities are offered throughout the city.

The magazine for children Tralalire and the Atelier de la Bonne Graine, for example, organize workshops for children aged 2 to 6. Fun and didactic, they take place on the first Saturday of each month. Pre-booking necessary.

An introduction to artistic creation for babies in Paris

It is never too early to discover the world of art. Cultural establishments in Paris offer quality artistic programmes for young children. 

At the Philharmonie de Paris, introduction to music workshops are held on Wednesday and Friday. These workshops aimed at babies aged from 3 months to children aged 3 are a great family experience. Parents accompany their child as they take their first musical steps and take part in memory games based on musical instruments.

Based on Montessori pedagogy, the ‘musical moments’ workshops at Koko Cabane offer an initiation into sound and touch (via musical instruments) for young children accompanied by their parents. The emphasis is on song and dance through simple rhythms.

Artistic development for babies in Paris

It’s never too early to be introduced to the world of art. In Paris, cultural and leisure organisations are working together to offer high-quality arts programmes for very young children.

At the Philharmonie de Paris, musical awareness workshops are held on Wednesdays and Fridays. Aimed at babies aged 3 months to 3 years, they offer a great opportunity to discover the arts as a family. Parents support their child as they take their first steps in music, encouraging them to take part in memory games based on musical instruments.

Based on the Montessori method, Koko Cabane’s ‘musical moments’ workshops’ feature activities designed to stimulate auditory and sensory development. Open to children aged 3 months to 3 years accompanied by their parents, they focus on singing and dancing to simple rhythms.
