Storytime

At the heart of each session, the ritual of the reading-show brings the children together in a circle under the moon. The magic formula is chanted, the story trunk is opened, and off we go for a twenty-minute reading led by our Raconteurs d'histoires.

Ages 2 to 7!
Wednesday to Sunday (and daily during school vacations)

Musical readings

Have you heard of our musical readings?
Based on a book, Léa and Antoine take us on a half-hour swinging and gentle ride: we sing, we dance, accompanied by guitar, piano or flute. We're counting on you to join in the rhythm!
‍
For all siblings, ages 1 to 6!
Three times a month on Wednesdays or Saturdays.

Baby sessions

Here, there's no need to sit up straight - on the contrary!
Babies are allowed to crawl, explore, touch, look, babble, play... and, above all, experience books at their own pace. At the heart of this gentle bubble: a reading-show by Les Raconteurs d'histoires, with tender, colorful, sonorous and poetic albums designed for the very young.

For babies from 9 to 36 months
Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (and every day during school vacations).
