Do you ever feel like you would benefit from taking a break for a bit? Unplugging for a moment? Letting your inner child take the wheel for a few minutes?

Together, we invite you to step into a slower, magic way of living.

We are a team of four wooden puppets (and one human being : ) Maurice allows us to be morose, Petite Clothilde keeps us dreaming, Madame Rigolotte makes us laugh, and Pierre-Qui-Roule reminds us to stay connected with nature. And our team keeps growing.

Welcome to our Petit Refuge, a magical place where early childhood nurtures us all.
