Presentation
A day of free play in the great outdoors, where children explore, imagine and experience adventures, while adults, as accomplices, rediscover with them the simple joy of playing.
Today, there's no set itinerary, no set program... let's come here for the joy of playing freely, running wild across the meadow, rolling in the grass, plunging our hands into the mud, climbing rocks and making giant leaps, setting off on an adventure to explore mysterious forests... running, screaming, laughing, having fun, breathing, letting ourselves be carried away... embracing every sensation, every burst of laughter, every thrill of the present moment... and leaving with grass in our hair, red cheeks, and an indelible smile!
So what can we expect?
We'll start the day with a short walk to our base camp in a beautiful, hidden corner of nature in Figuerolles Park. We'll set up a few open-access workshops and, at certain times, offer group games. But the essence of this day remains free play: the children are free to play as they please. The adults, for their part, adopt the role of caring accomplices, ensuring their safety, encouraging them, sometimes playing with them, and who knows, rediscovering their inner child...
This day is inspired by nature-based education approaches. At Les Joyeux Bombyles, we are convinced that free play in a rich natural environment is essential to children's development. It fosters their autonomy, self-confidence, and creativity, while cultivating a deep and lasting connection with nature.
- Meeting point: 11:00 a.m. at the dinosaur playground, near the small parking lot on Avenue du Grand Parc, Parc de Figuerolles, 13500 Martigues. The GPS coordinates for the meeting point will be sent to you after registration.
- Audience: Open to families – children accompanied by an adult.
- Meals: There will be a picnic break at noon and a snack at the end of the day. Don't forget to bring your lunch!
- Weather: In case of bad weather, the event will be postponed. However, it will still take place in case of intermittent light rain or moderate wind.
- Les Joyeux Bombyles is a non-profit organization. If, after this outing, you decide to join us, the cost will be deducted from your annual membership. Membership gives you free access to all our outings throughout the year. Annual membership: €20 per adult and €15 per child (ages 3 and up).
