It's a beautiful moment you're about to witness: your friends are about to have a baby! To mark the occasion, it's becoming increasingly common to organize a Baby-Shower. This American tradition is taking hold in France and consists of a party in honor of the mother-to-be, the young parents and, of course, the baby. Often, it's the perfect opportunity to reveal the gender of the future child in an imaginative way.
For the occasion, friends and family gather to shower the parents with gifts for both the baby and the parents. And if you're here, it's because you're at one of the key stages: the search for a great idea for a baby-shower gift!
So why not help to engrave the first memories of this young family, or offer young parents moments of disconnection to take a breather from this great turning point in their lives? That's why we've come up with some good addresses and amazing concepts in Paris to offer awonderful experience while waiting for or after the arrival of your child.
