Bibliomobile: Storytime at the parc

Gather under shady trees for short, lively readings and quiet book browsing. Children listen to stories read aloud with expressive voices and gentle rhythms, see colorful scenes, and imagine characters moving and talking. Little ones can choose a single tale or stay for many, turning pages and whispering discoveries. The sounds of pages, birdsong, and soft laughter make reading feel like a calm outdoor adventure that sparks curiosity and language.

Every Thursday between 9 July and 13 August, from 10:00 to 12:00 at the Promenade du Pin!

In French. Kids ages 3 and up.
